Flukiver is a good follow up drench for fluke in sheep this time of year

Just about to go through ours with it

At this time of year we expect to see chronic fluke infections and therefore drugs such as Closantel or Nitroxynil are appropriate.

Triclabendazole resistance is increasing and we need to reserve its use for times when sheep are being actively infected with fluke. Even then we really need to follow up after treatment to ensure its worked. I've talked to 4 farmers with suspected resistance today.

Who the hell suggested triclabendazole in Feb?!

no one did actually .
