What problems have you had with it ??
Was told by our old vet to use it at weaning as we put the lambs at the other farm on good grass.which hasn't had sheep on it since Feb so should be clean of worms.been using last 3 years an each year they've just not 'done' when they should've been motoring.had at least 300 very poor lambs this year by November time, lost a few too.

Got new vet to PM them thought was going to be fluke but its not.gut was like mush.obviously got worms.

Probably a good product but no use for us.

This is going way ot, but were you drenching at weaning and moving straight to clean ground?

Did they suggest doing a check for wormer resistance?
