Any good

[copse]

Anyone used this?

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

Presumably for twin lamb?
Looks a bit like snake oil.
I am surprised that XL vets have their name on it as I always though calcium as a drench was a complete waste of time!!

They are selling it for twin lamb.

I used a bottle last year as I had a handful of ewes with quads despite all being scanned as triplets which kept getting twin lamb in the week before lambing. Without it the majority of the quad bearing ewes would have died. I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives but it's a handy and very convenient tool in the box.

Did you jab with calciject and give twin lamb drench too?

I expect it's the propylene glycol that does the job. We use this stuff...........

I’m not one for spending money on every daft thing about but the women folk of the organisation thought they’d try it, because one of them does have a urge to spend money on all sorts of useless sh1t!! An I have to say I gave it to a ewe that was a definite no hoper an to my surprise she came round!! I did give it everything else as well but it did have the look of death engraved on it, an I’m good at predicting doom!!

I always have a litre of that sat in store for emergency use too, but would happily use that in the OP if the price was similar. It’s basically Prop Glycol with a few bits & bobs in, the Prop Glycol being the important bit for TLD.

Btw, you might want to hide your Ketosaid drum from the FA inspector @yellowbelly , it might be past it’s expiry date and become hazardous to health as a result...

FA inspector

What's one of them?

 

[CopperBeech]

Ive used it and to be fair it works a treat, and has an end you can stick a drench gun on, and smells like coconuts . . . . . .

 

[JSmith]

Smells like peaches I thought, definitely fruity, might have a swig myself next time I’m feeling a bit twitchy!!

We use the draw off cap that comes with Dysect cans on our Norbrook Ketosaid bottle.

Maybe we should start keeping it in the bathroom cupboard (with the Ivermectin) instead of in the lambing shed

Our vet sells Ketosaid, far cheaper than a lot of a lot of magic drenches too.

I’ve never seen it in a merchant’s, probably not enough margin it?

We get ours from our local Downland merchant.
We get all our lambing supplies through them - Downland powdered colostrum is very good and their own brand lamb milk. Ketosaid is not under the Downland umbrella though - says Norbrook on the bottle.

Found it online for £15 didn't seem to bad.

Liquid feed is great for keeping twin lamb disease away

 

[icanshootwell]

Managed to get the 2 ewes around, the ketosaid done the job, took about 5 days to get them eating normal. Thanks above.

I agree, and would add that self help blocks are the same. We had to abandon liquid feed when the lorries got too big for our access.
Sheep naturally expect food to be in front of them all the time rather than a couple of pounds once a day.
