fluke

Anyone use one , well for sheep mainly and it looks like Tepari are the only ones i guess ..... and bluetooth one to qualify for the grant .... :unsure:

What does everyone do regarding fluke? My plan is to fluke them with tribex which should do all stages at dry off but I've got a couple of thinner heifers who have come back as having moderate fluke in them so would possibly be treating them during lactation which causes problem re milk...

Dairy, beef and sheep sectors must deliver an effective farm-level response to the UK’s pledge to slash 30% of methane emissions by 2030[1], or the ‘soundbite’ solution of reducing numbers and downsizing livestock production will take control. This is the warning from Nigel Miller, chair of...

How long would most of you wait before giving the first fluke drench in the current weather conditions?(N.ire, North of England and Scotland most relevant to me)

Now is the time to consider parasite control for animals that will be housed over the winter period. In conjunction with your RAMA or vet, you need to work out what parasites you need to treat, which products to use, and when to administer them. The parasite risk changes each year and spring...

Hi. Im new here and a first time farmer. I have chickens and pigs that are defecating what look like some parasitic worm. What kind are they?? I put on some gloves and cleaned them up so they can be seen better. Ive heard that they can infect me?? Best advice ??

Hi everyone, after some advice please 10 days I had a group of 35 calves (4-7 months old) outside in a small field with shelter, all fine one day, next day a limo was on deaths door with pneumonia. Got the vet out and ended up bringing the rest in as they were all coughing and panting, treated...

Written by John Swire from Farm Business Farmers should protect their cattle from four major parasites in the run-up to housing to prevent costly production losses and welfare issues, is the advice this autumn. Responsible Animal Medicines Advisor (RAMA) Mark Pass from Beeston Animal Health...

Reading media reports and Facebook posts about tree planting and alternatives to meat on a daily basis. Vegan and save the earth types gathering huge momentum as every week goes on. Are we facing what can only be described as a farming endangerment? Could we as a switched on farming group on...

Are people thinking of cutting back on stocking rates due to fertilize prices and other rising costs??

We always treat for fluke with triclabendazole before tupping mid October and before ewe lambs head away to wintering this week. Although after such an dry year i was unsure. Vet hasnt found any fluke in bloods. Although expects they will need treating mid november, obviously weather dependent...

Have a group of ewe lambs that had a post worming FEC which showed they where free from worms in early August. I am led to believe Fluke and Lungworm won’t show up in this type of screening. is there a way of testing for the presence of these two parasites ? and determining if it is worth...

Written by Michael Geary from Agriland Boehringer Ingelheim has confirmed to Agriland that it has ceased the production of the flukicide Trodax. The flukicide, which will have been used on many farms across the country, was used to treat cattle and sheep for mature and immature fluke, as...

100 cows on 100 acres Cutting frequently to bales or zero grazing. Regular reseed rotation and import quite a bit of nutrients in feed. Not used any p or k for years just urea and sulphur for first 2/3 of the season going little and often. Gone to all umbilical/dribble bar and just put in a...

Was told this morning that trodax can’t be got any more, everywhere I’ve looke d online has been out of stock as well. Anyone know any more on this? Can’t beat it for a winter treatment to wipe out fluke in the ewes here. Annoying.

Have seen a few different methods for teaser ram timing to ewes but can’t seem to find them currently so thought I’d ask. How long before entire rams go in would be best for teaser. I flush ewes two weeks before rams each year to. Plan is put teaser to ewes then take him out put other rams in...

Bought a few ewes to Tup early, all abit last minute. Will probably put the Tup in next week and was just thinking of giving the ewes a combi drench. Any harm in doing them this close to tupping?

Appreciate we all farm in different circumstances and all farms have there own challenges. Had a chat at market with very differing views. When buying in store lambs for the autumn / winter feeding what standard treatments do you use ? Dip, worm, fluke, jab, bolus, foot bath, clip, fly treat etc.
