Cocci and Nemo drench at same time?

[Jerry]

FEC results are showing significant cocci numbers and lambs just starting to look a bit stary.

So going to do a cocci drench today.

Nemo count was below 50.

But resent weather and SCOPS both days to me risk is high.

So is it ok to do both together or should I wait a week for the Nemo drench?

should be ok , have done so in past , have they been nemo drenched before ? its the first wave of f3 nemo that causes damage from last year , then revert to FEC after first dose

 

[Jerry]

Nope. Not had anything yet. Born starting mid Feb.

 

[andybk]

nemo about due then , though big flush may have already happened if on pasture from last season , still worth doing with cheap white drench , i did some of mine couple weeks ago , odd small scour in some , all dry now and regained bloom ,

Absolutely fine to do both on same day... just don't mix them together

 

[Jerry]

I’ll crack on then.
Thanks both.

Doing Cocci and Nemo on the same day is the 1 dosing I hate... the batch that I've to cocci is about 300 lambs. The thought of doing them twice is a scunner before I start

Nemo drench resistance just being observed ----maybe time to think twice before just drenching on forecast?

Large scale screening for benzimidazole resistance mutations in Nematodirus battus, using both pyrosequence genotyping and deep amplicon sequencing, indicates the early emergence of resistance on UK sheep farms

Benzimidazoles (BZ) have been the anthelmintic of choice for controlling Nematodirus battus infections since their release in the 1950s. Despite heavy…

I only drench if I see dirty arses.

The hill singles never get done and there's usually at least 1 group of inbye lambs don't get done each year...
