Fair enough. Albex wont kill immature fluke either so what you are doing with albex/zanil after 8 weeks is killing the fluke that have matured since the last dose. re the spot on product for lice, you could use an ivermectin pour on and that will cover both biting & sucking lice as well as a good kill on worms. Re using fasinex 240 or fasinex 10%, when filling out the blue book or your board bia book, if department look into it and you used fasinex 10% or a generic instead of fasinex 240 they can start questioning why you used an off license product. Better to keep within the law really,would much rather use a licensed product where possible.

how do they compare now price wise-dont find it that hard to inject but if it sorted the lice problem id look at it

Pour-on is usually around twice the price of injection but shop around, some serious deals to be had out there. Think mastermectin in dairygold coops is one of the cheapest around.
