Which flukicide to use?
« on: October 13, 2010, 08:56:07 pm »
We were advised to routinely dose our ewes against liver fluke now and then later towards December/January. We opted to use Closamectin as it was available in a small pack in Winnstays. As we have only 11 to inject I opted to use a syringe and needle rather than injecting with one of those gun like applicators as there seems to be less wastage. Even though we got some larger-bore needles, we had a hell of job injecting the stuff because the stuff is so thick and viscous. Any suggestions or ideas appreciated - what products do people use? and how do you apply it?

Have used Fasimec Duo too but very expensive.  Decided just to worm this year.

Just read the small print as some fluke drenches shouldn't be used a tupping time.
