    Puff away until there's a cloud of it gone over the back and head, it's a cheap and cheerfull approach. It doesn't have medicinal properties so it's harmless. It works by damaging the bugs through the microscopic sharp edges of the dust particles.

    Wear a mask to prevent it entering your lungs - fine silica dust particles are a major cause of Silicosis

    Better advice would be to just use the pour on. Can do them in the shed without all that nonsense. I squirt it onto them from the feed passage and do them again after 3/4 weeks to kill any that were just eggs the time of the first treatment.

    pour on is far more expensive and not near as good as the injectable versions in most doses.
    Check the price of the injectable against the pour on and you’ll find you will be well paid for the little bit extra inconvenience.

    If dosing is an issue I find cydectin long acting is a good dose and if timed right will cover weanlings up until sale. I must check it but Theres one of them cover for either 3 or 4 months. A bit dearer but works well.

    hi folks what are people using for dosing this year? housed some store heifers and got the results back no worms but fluke. I have used Endofluke the last few years so thinking of changing it this year for curafluke at housing and them a shot of trodex 6weeks later would that work? Or am I still better to used Endofluke again 3 weeks after housing?
