    has there been any change in the products for fluke in dairy cows.
    my vet reckons some of the cows are becoming immune to zanil.
    I had 2 with liver damage this year and the vet says I will have to use something like Flukiver, which is a banned product.I dont have a rumen fluke problem. any ideas? by the way levafas uses the same ingredient as zanil, oxyclozanide.

    Have you always just use zanil? Could use albex but would have to dose twice as only gets adult fluke. At drying off and before calving?

    Perhaps use closamectin on the young stock once not in calf heifers? May break things up a bit. Not sure then for cows. Perhaps dung sample then in dry years you may get away without using them but then they are rare enough.? Greysides may jump in here or someone who's had a similar issue

    Fasinex 240 is licenced for use in dairy cows and kills both adult and immature liver fluke. Milk withdrawal for milk for human consumption is 35 days and 2 days after calving.

    Never even though of that buford. Sold culls earlier in year and man that bought them said some killed active for fluke so will have to do a better job this year all tho some of those would have been carryover cows so weren't dry to treat

    Just remember it MUST be Fasinex 240!

    Any other produce will not do even if it has triclabendazole in it at the same rate.

    Only Fasinex 240 is licenced for use in dairy cows, the other products containing triclabendazole are NOT licenced for use in dairy cows.
