Cydectin triclamox

Lambman

I was having a look online for oral fluke doses and came across this product which our local supplier doesn't supply. It does all stages of fluke aswell as round worms and lung worms which is handy for an oral dose. I think it would be a good product till use on the ewes this time off year pre lambing till get them cleared out off the worms so there will be less on the land for when lambs start grazing. Anybody have any experience with it? Active ingredients is moxidectin and tricleabendazole.

I use it for my first fluke dose of the year. In October the last 3 years. Its expensive but its great stuff.

The reason I was gonna use it on the ewes pre lambing is because moxidectin the active wormer in it has been shown till stay in the ewes milk for up till 2 months so the lambs are also getting some protection. I'll still dose the lambs all the same. 2ml per 10kg so 70kg ewe is 14ml that's about 70 ewes till 1ltr @ €70 so €1 per ewe good value for what your getting.

agridirect are selling 1ltr for €60

Triclabendazole is one of the active ingredients, worth remembering it's one of the easiest ingredients to build up resistance to

Yea, heard about the wormer in the milk, don't know anything about it though.
Ewe's don't really need worm dosing, we'd only do those that are thin, maybe 5%

I'd always worm the ewes before lambing and that's them for the year then wrangler.. might be another expense but reading reports it's SUPPOSED till have an affect on the pastures so there won't be as much worms till pick up for the lambs.. I know everyone still has till worm lambs as I will but I was just impressed by this product. Time will tell

If you have resistance to the wormer you use, tje only worms that the ewes are going to produce are going to be resistant ones and that wormer u used is useless
