Fluke in cattle

[ridger]

Got a report from aphis saying that out of the last 12 cattle i killed, 5 had liver fluke. What is a good dose, preferably a pour on with a short meat withdrawal?

Only fluke pour on I know of for cattle is closamectin, it's got a long 58day withdrawal now though and it's expensive.
Injections like trodax or Ivomec super have withdrawals around the 60days aswell
Drenches seem to have shortest withdrawal and good bit cheaper.
Levafas diamond is only 5 days, but they will skitter the day after dosing so will need extra bedding

Thats Oral, but the best solution for a short withdrawal that the OP asked for.

Am surprised you have not noticed symptoms of dull coats and not feeding well

I was once in a large slaughterhouse and they were killing some well finished heavy Hereford bullocks and the livers were literally crawling with adult fluke, couldn’t believe it.
I always dose rather than pour on for fluke now, it’s a lot more work but the gains in withdrawal an hitting the right stage of fluke outweighs this in my opinion

There's also cydectin triclamox pour on but it's got a massive withdrawal, something like 150 days.

I used it but only on the cows and younger stock.

Zanil oral drench (oxyclosanide) is 28 day withdrawal, treats stomach fluke as well.

Is that albendazole?
Yes if so it's what I use
2 week withdrawal does worm and fluke

So it is, farmacy has it at 28, must be a mistake.

143 day withdraw, used it on cattle today when I weaned the calves. Doesn't matter for the cows as not going to slaughter and the calves will be here for another 18 months.
Got caught out with it last year, did everything with it at TB test in June, selling cattle in September I had to declare they were under withdraw until middle of October.
