Hi All, wormed some lambs 9 days ago. Just in the field now and found a few lambs with worms in their stool like the photos. Used Rycoben. Resistance or dying worms? Thanks
Do I have resistance or dying worms?

These are tapeworm segments---(don't be too worried about tapeworms , they usually do very little harm ) the real pathogenic worms wont be visible to the native eye
If you want to check to see if you have resistance to anthelmintics you need to do a FEC before and after treatment to compare results
See www.scops.org.uk for more info

Tapeworm, seen some a few feet long hanging out of lambs before but the lambs were healthy as anything

I thought you said it didn’t hurt them. It hasn’t done that one much good...

Drastic way to do an egg count
Pasturella was main cause of death i think but very nice tapeworms too
