I'm sure dectomax is 70 days now for sheep, used to be 63, we used to use a shower but had a bad do 1 year losing a lot post shower due to weather coming cool and damp
I’m no expert. But a shower won’t do the job properly. I think you need a full dip. We done lots that way. Never had much problem.

Yeah, have to be completely submerged/ dipped, wasting time with a shower and injecting for that matter!

I think it’s 37 days?
Don't you have to do them twice with dectomax if they have scab. Dip is the best option because you know they have been done (I'm going to keep my opinions on showering quite).
1 jab will get them sold fat. 2 if your keeping them for a while

It’s definitely 22 days here in Ireland
Not from dead lambs....And we wonder why resistant scab mite are getting everywhere....
the truth is, to get on top of it, compulsory dipping like it used to be.

Here here. It only takes one slacker and off we go again. We all know one who doesn’t give a flying f**k
Should have a dip man at market store lambs shouldn’t be allowed in without being dipped would soon lower the spread of scab
The would do a good job of bringing the store price down if the buyers couldn’t kill half when they got them home.
What bringing store price down too what it should be? How dare they [emoji23]

That will never, ever happen again. No government would open themselves up to huge legal claims by forcing people to work with OP nerve agents again.
I agree that it’s the only way to hope to eradicate it, although it didn’t when it was compulsory before...
Licensed contractors only.
