[Geoffreywrc]

Has anyone much experience on closamectin pour on
Is it all its cracked up to be.
Cannot find any reviews on it anywhere.

All help appreciated.

I use it and haven’t had any issues.

Doesnt get very good reviews on here but i have never had a problem with it. Only use it in the late autumn now on vets advice, used a basic/cheaper ivermectin based pour on for last weeks spring/summer worm on vets advice too

Our vet and sales people say you might as well use water.

Used to use it , but still had reports of liver fluke from the abattoir. Now put them through the crush and use Biamectin plus injection, which is much cheaper.

Why?

Doesn’t work. Cattle don’t like it either

If you don’t need to dose in the first place I’m sure it probably will be if you don’t get any reactions to it

Our vet expkained that when we planned ti use it for worms its the wrobg time for fluke and aksi the other way around . Expensive false sense security .

Why don't the cattle like it?

My cattle would rather have a pour on than an injection. And I would rather use a pour on than injecting them.

They can’t soak it in properly as each beast has different skin type and thickness. They admit that 50% intake of the product is through beast licking each other which means dosage rates are skewed which gets me to the next point. Overdosing causes blindness which is irreversible or worse. Can’t be safely used on beast with their backs clipped as intakes are altered greatly. Oh and it doesn’t work anyway

Have you asked them? You might be surprised I know what I would rather have

Trevor Cook (QMS pet kiwi expert) was very anti pour-ons when I heard him speak.

 

[Limcrazy]

Heard of untreated cattle in adjoining pens showing up residues in factory which must have been got by licking off over gates. Molecules are allegedly too big to penetrate skin properly. Makes me think it would be better dosed through feeder wagon.

Used it last year and was not impressed - (cattle still scratching). Admittedly I never clipped their backs before applying - which is maybe where I went wrong
