Best type of dose for Hoggetts this time of the year?

Bleating Lamb

Hi all,

Have a bunch of hoggetts that were last dosed around 2 months ago with Flukivor. Majority of my ground would be wet enough in a normal year……so was sopping wet over this Winter where hoggetts were grazing.They are in good shape but I've noticed in last few weeks that some of them have got very dirty of their ends(mainly suffolks)…….but its certainly not fresh grass that has skittered them!

Given the time of year and the fact land is still wet here, I was thinking of giving them a combination Fluke and Worms dose for this time. Would people think this is a good enough plan and would ye recommend any good doses?

Thanks for any replies.

get a fec test. Anything else is just guessing tbh. Prob save the cost of the test in the long run by treating correctly

Want to dose them later this week and won’t have time in next few days to put any in to do a FEC test on………have done them before and are definitely a good idea…..just beat by time to do one this week.

If I give them a good combination dose this time around it should help them.Could FEC test them afterwards to see how things are.

Quick bump……….

Any recommendations of effective combination doses for fluke and worms for this time of year?

Was thinking of using Cydectin Triclamox.

Thanks for any replies.
