cocci

Anyone done one yet with Feb/mar born lambs? Just started to notice the odd mucky bum, need to do a FEC count tomorrow to check levels of nemo as wells guess.

After a shitty day, sassy has decided to cheer me up Beuatiful heifer by kings-ransom dynasty ! up and drank 4 litres of colostrum from the bottle within 30 minutes of arrival Potential 16th generation straight excellent Fingers crossed i can get sassy up to ex this time to complete 15 gens...

Morning! We creep 75% of our lambs either on a pellet or home mix barley/oats concentrate pellet! This year more likely home mix with corn prices, but both ways always get a few lambs push there bums, this year instead of putting cocci buckets out going to cocci drench all lambs as buckets have...

Had a bunch of lambs tested, egg count suggested needed treatment for cocci as moderate infection. It’s now 3 weeks since treatment can they return to that paddock on the rotation now? It’s been empty for the three weeks. thanks Hughesy

Rumen fluke here, and if it's here in the Highlands, it's everywhere 😱. We suspected a missing link, with losing a few healthy lambs last summer. Just suddenly going downhill for no reason, looking flukey but shouldn't be, and in spite of a very effective health plan. After reading the comments...

4 days off due date. For the last week to 10days we've had at least 1 ewe a day abort. 1 premature looking and 1 dark colour with buttons or a small fetus. Had 3 sets today. A triplet with 2 small weedy live lambs 3rd 1 black dead fetus. Another twins not bad size and another just now bit...

Even after 7 or 8yrs, I still consider myself as a newcomer to sheep rearing. As my own lambing comes near an end and my mind starts to function somewhat nearer to usual, I'm wondering what others consider an acceptable or even inevitable level of lamb mortality at time of lambing itself and...

Has anyone mixed the dose for coccidiosis in with the milk when feeding bucket reared calves or will I just go to the trouble of dosing them and be lazy!! It for prevention as had some trouble last year

Anyone seeing more joint ill than normal? I always get a hand full but treating about a dozen at the moment. Lamb outside and these are approx 10 to 15 days old. Weather been crap like everywhere so prob the cause. Treating with a big hit of Trimox LA and metacam.

Got a couple of 3-4week old lambs scouring a bit down their legs. Pale yellowy/grey. Seem well in hhemselves. Should I be treating them with anything?? Is it Crytopto......?

Getting closer to lambing and had bit of trouble with orf and cocci last year with lambs that stayed inside for 3 weeks. Wondering if these buckets would be the answer ? What are peoples experience with them. The cocci just needs to be kept at bay until I drench the lot, but did have some bad...

Just a question for anyone that has had this in sheep before. We started lambing on the 1st of jan. It was all going fine untill a week ago and have been hit fairly hard with it. Lost roughly 60 lambs so far to but I’m finding that anything that’s actually managed to live is fairly weak. Might...

16 month old stot here is scouring non stop. Started to look a bit scoury when he was outside end of october, but never got him in until mid November, dosed with panacur, did nothing. Sent in a dung sample and it's free of worms and fluke. Herd is bvd negative, and we don't bring anything in...

Just picked up a catalogue from my local market for this Fridays store cattle and sheep sale,and noticed on the back,all sellers have to have a "VAN" by December 13th. The catalogue always has a column for "FA" or just left blank if the farm is not. Why cant we now just have "VA" instead of FA...

As we are not RT, it appears as if I will have to jump through the hoops to get our VAN from the Vet... I have spoken with the Vets, and they are happy for a visit to see an animal, that will suffice for them to tick the boxes, and as I have few if any fat animals ready to go, I am happy to...

I've got two kerry hill lambs (8months roughly) with really mucky back ends. Rest of the flock is alright. Wormed last week with albex 2.5 and fluked mud July. They are on slightly over grown land which they have grazed well, but rains been pretty consistent so it's wet. Thoughts? What do i need...

As above

Looking for a properly bred, commercially minded, lleyn tup lamb. Preferably performance records of some flavour. Cheers

Big healthy bull calf spotted a few weeks ago with prolapse. Managed to get it back in seemed ok until a few days ago. Back out again, no chance of getting it to stay. Vet came injected with drugs and put in stitch. Checked this morning all ok but he is pushing loads and worried he may pop...

Hi - hopefully not too obvious question! My understanding was always that lambs should develop an immunity to nemo quite quickly after being exposed and wormed. I've found nemo in dung samples twice this year (once at 8 weeks and once at 12). Lambs dosed on both occasions (white drench) and...
