I was wondering how do i work out the cost of wormer per lamb

Oramec costs me £21.60 for a 1 litre bottle how much does it cost to worm a lamb, if it gets 15ml of the wormers

Any help would be great thanks

£21.60 for 1000 mls =2.16 p per ml. X15 = 32.4 p per lamb. I think that is right !

Unfortunately as a smallholder, you'd be lucky to use the whole bottle, since you've got enough there to treat sixty plus lambs.

So, assuming you're going to have to waste some, the cost per lamb is just £21.60 divided by the number of animals you're going to treat.

Hope that helps!
