The white bits are tapeworm segments. It is said that tapeworm in sheep is not a problem and they don't have much effect on lamb's performance. However if you want to get rid of them then worm again with Panacur.

Endospec 2.5  is group 1 wormer exactly the same as Panacur  and should kill any tapeworms  .

My vet also told me not to worry about tape worms when I found tape worm segments in my ewes. If your worried about other worms, maybe do a Faecal egg count?
