    Have my test next week was just going to give them all an generic ivermectin injection be the handiest way to get them done. But in fairness there is no coughing from them that I can hear.

    Will also give them a multi min injection

    If you dose, don't move them onto new grass straight away.

    Why are you talking about Multimin injection to control parasites 🤔. Multimin is a trace mineral supplement - it is not a anthelmintic/antiparasitic drug.

    As an oral dose in younger stock I would use either Albex or Endospec.

    Could be just from wet leafy grass that they're loose. Most millers now include yeast or similar to counteract this in weanling rations.

    Also the meal should include enough vitamins and minerals

    Read the label of the meal and change if necessary.

    Apologies, I misinterpreted your comment.

    We use it here for the bought in dairy x beef calves, as a pre calver for our own suckler cows and pre mating for the suckler heifers on the recommendation of our Vet. I bought a bottle from the Vet practice in Spring for the bought in calves and another last month. It is POM but there was no issue getting it.
