lice treatment

tismesoitis

Usually use ectospec for the lice in the cattle and not happy with the results. Anyone recomend a good treatment? Pity they done away with Tixol nothing treated the lice as good as it!! Thanks

Are they on straw or slats ? I clipped a few lines along their backs a couple of years ago and it helped a lot , I think the beast isn't as warm that way and it's harder for the lice to live in it .
I also find sprinkling lime around their bed and even up on their backs is a cheap way to curtail some lice activity

Found ectospec useless too.'Young's pour on' is much better imo

That's exactly what the girl in the vets office said to me.

Try Taktik? Bit like Tixol I think. Lice is hard to beat fully anyway.

Done ours over Christmas. Clipped them and I think it was pour on Sp. 26 euro for 1L bottle whatever it was.
I think the best job is clipping there whole top back and most products will work well after that. 2nd year doing it and has made a major difference. Should really do them when we put them in by right.

I got a very poor response with spot on this year. I wonder is there resistance starting to creep in?

Only 10ml per cow in one spot ... Great satisfaction in filling 40ml of Youngs along the spine in a syringe .. They out of it so I tried this new one .. Any experiences ?!
