Have been reading the recent poo thread & thought I’d share a photo from one off mine - is this tapeworm also? I’m guessing whole & not a small segment which you see often......

Yes, and thanks. :vomit:

Thanks for sharing that with us.

it's certainly unusual to see a whole length at one time. Have you just wormed the sheep with a white wormer, eg panacur? That type kills the tapeworms, so wondering if it's a dead one that's been expelled.

I found a similar one a few years ago, maybe a week after worming the lambs!

So much for grains of rice, this looks more like tagliatelle!!

Four month old lamb prior to any wormer - a dose of Benizmole was administered shortly after.
