cydectin

Routinely dip everything in the Autumn, but somehow it's come in halfway through lambing. Been advised by Vets not to dip ewes and young lambs (~3 weeks) as the scent can lead to mis mothering, has anyone any experience with this? Always found Dectomax/Cydectin a complete waste of time, and...

A bit hypothetical , but if it goes really dry how would you cope ? I'd be fine as I've written off this 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.

Bit of a background. Last yr we didnt dose pre lambing. We then went on to loose a load of ewes with lambs at foot and it was unknown. Fec come back good. Pms inconclusive then we bit the bullet and dosed all the ewes with cydectin triclomox off our own backs and it pretty much stopped deaths in...

We have an ewe that started to lose its wool and was biting, so presumed the worst. Luckily it was in a group of 25 that that have been on their own all the winter. Only the one seems to be affected so to make sure we blood tested the scratching one and a couple of the others. Only the one came...

Just a quick question, when you've injected sheep for scab with Cydectin 2%, how soon is it safe to mix them with other sheep?

Ear tags :mad:etc . but this time drench gun bottes why cant they have a standard neck thread size theres 3 pr 4 different bottles types by different makers ..... why cant they be standardised size :mad: in real life it faffing around wasting time setting up different caps on pipes which has to...

Hi all my hog lambs are scratching all the time they want dipping really but we haven’t got a licence to do it or buy the dip and dyslectic doesn’t seem to be working anyone any recommendations Thanks in advance

Can it pay ? We are farming four blocks one is two minutes walk but two are 15 minutes by car Chap on the phone to me was saying his tractor finance was over £600 a month ( plus vehicle finance, plus farm rent etc etc ) They cover ground up to an hour away yet he said to me , 500 odd sheep...

Thinking of changing wormer this year. Always used an ivermectin injection before but not happy with results, especially during the grazing season. Going to use a drench that does fluke too. I know I'll have to treat lice separate now. Are hook drench guns any good? Can you do a row of cattle...

I have a handful of lambs that I’m trying to finish but they seem to have lost their appetite. I’ve been feeding them creep and recently been able to do this ad-lib but they just don’t seem interested. The field they’re in isn’t brilliant for grass now but they also have access to a shed with...

Anyone use it? Work well? Timings for vaccines in UK climate? Costs? It seems like quite a lot of effort, but after constant reinfection this year, and generally being pretty nervous about resistance (something a number of people I know that use cydectin are now facing) I think it's becoming...

I've tried and can't find the explanation for this injection location. The Cydectin website actually says not to put it anywhere else!?! Seems very weird. Can someone explain please.

I have a ewe with sheep scab can i use Cydectin pour on (and pour it on) or does it have to be injected also can I inject cydectin pour on?

I m a little unhappy with the condition of some of my ewes pre tupping .I'm thinking a mineral drench may perk them up?Or am I wasting my money without testing for deficiency first Any recommendations for products you have had with positive results...

Apparently our local Darley Dale branch closed down on Saturday. Another at Fauld possibly doing the same. Is it more depots or just the northern ones?

Just had our welfare review , with defra , where they do fec resistance as part of it , turns out we have a slight resistance to ivermectin at one of our very dirty farms we rent , nemo is ok had a few lambs scour about 2 weeks post treatment , farm was continuous sheep long before we had it ...

Priced cydectin from two different suppliers . Both on the same to road. And one priced at £68. The other £118.00 How can there be a 50 quid difference on the same stuff , by two competitors just along the road from each other!?

Is anyone else seeing a high challenge at the moment? Very rarely do we worm any stock over 9 months old but I have a significant chunk of the milking cows coughing at the moment. They have no other symptoms, no runny noses or eyes and no temperature or milk drop yet so we think lungworm is...

Those of you rearing calves on milk spring born or early autumn born outdoors. What are your procedures for going about it, what age are you turning out/ milk quantities/ weaning process etc. I want to do a couple hundred spring born like it....
