Dosing Programme:
Ewes and gimmers
Dose ewes 2-6 weeks before lambing and again soon after lambing. On heavily stocked pastures, treatment at intervals of 3-4 weeks may be necessary until autumn. Otherwise treat prior to tupping and at housing.
Lambs and hoggs
Lambs at risk from Nematodirus infection require dosing at 2 week intervals. Otherwise treat lambs from 4-6 weeks of age and hoggs from late May at 3 week intervals until autumn. Dose at weaning and move to clean pasture. If clean pasture is unavailable, dose at 3-4 week intervals until sold, or until early winter.
Treat all bought-in sheep before allowing to mix with the flock. (N.B. Most independent advice recommends the use of an avermectin (3-AV) containing product at this time).
Fluke and Worm Dose:
Dosage: 7.5mg albendazole oxide* per kg bodyweight (1.5ml per 5kg bodyweight). The dosage rates of trace elements are 1.125mg cobalt per kg and 0.12mg selenium per kg bodyweight.
