zolvix

Why is this so? And does it work both ways, ie dose 14 days before or after?

This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch. All are welcome, you can even post prices if you want. The only rule...

I’ve just treated lambs with crovect, but with a bit of fly starting on a couple of ewes I’d rather dip the whole lot, as it happens the dipper man can be here tomorrow, could the crovect treated lambs be dipped tomorrow or would it be better to shed them off? I’d rather dip them as I’ve...

Well lads I am from midland Republic of Ireland and purchase 500+ store lambs from the south of the country mid September and graze them on well fertilised out farms from our dairy operation until January. The day after arrival I bring them in and pour on Dysect 1ml of Generic Ivomec...

Probably already discussed. Considering they used to be given away for free, and now even a plastic piece of rubbish costs 30 or 40 quid, it probably makes buying a better quality drencher a more sensible option. I don't drench sheep much but I still need a gun and I hate paying money for bad...

A friend and I were chatting last week about worm burdens and other sheep related problems on grassland. The new flock here was wormed with Zolvix*, isolated and then did a FEC with a bit fat Zero as a result :) The sheep are now only run on clean land, that has never had sheep before, so...

Well despite my best efforts I've had a bad year for mastitis only 86 ewes & 8 cases of mastitis, all rearing one lamb so could be worse. So the whole lot off cull, will sell from weaning until mid April 2023 to average the price, I know I'm a bit odd but I prefer a closed flock for many...

I’ve just started inside lambing 🙈 ewes were fluke doses with closantol based drench after scanning at new year. Ewes have been inside a month now give or take. Years ago we would lamb bit later well into March and ewes would get a wormer normally zermex drench before turnout with lambs . This...

Hi, I thought I would try to pick some of your brains out there. At the end of the month (Feb) I'm taking on an approx 70 acre farm that has been left for around 3 years without any stock or anything on for that matter. The amount of docks, creeping buttercup, thistles and ragwort on the land...

It seems that we, along with several folk in the area, have got a heamonchus challenge from somewhere (nothing comes on here without Zolvix, so how did it get here? :scratchhead: ). Everything has been grazing roots and off (contaminated?) grass since New Year, so not shedding any more eggs...

As above really I have a small batch of 20 march born lambs, these are the last left so not the best doers had some awful worm issues from the last autumn, whereas they get really mucky, I worm them they dry up and look better for a month then back where I started First year I have ever tried a...

Currently have 400 indoor lambing mules and texel/mules. I bought 15 sucked hoggets and 25 ewe lambs to try over the next year. Ewe lambs purchased for £105 weighing roughly 45kg in September and sucked hoggets for £150 at around 60-65kg. Tupped half with Charollais and other half to beltex...

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:

Hi all, I'd like to be able to do my own FEC but fectest.com no longer ship to the UK and i can't seem to find another supplier. Ebay don't seem to sell the slides either for me to purchase separately and the links in the threads on this forum to slides/microscopes etc are all dead :-( Any...

What the going rate for sheep work just labour per hour for drenching tagging penning up at shearing?

Anyone else finding ti hard to get Ivermectin drench? Cant seem to find anything local at all. Really dont want to use Zolvix but might have to bite the bullet.

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.

I don't have any real worm issues in the ewes or lambs this year, but was wondering what you think about worming with a different drench? I have used Oramec forever just thinking should I do something different.

Guy along the road got a new sprayer this week, he's spraying rushes etc on his farm, but l can bet he's not got a licence or what ever you need to use it or does grandfather rights still count if its only used on your farm.
