fluke

I am the same. I have to dose with supaverm or flukiver frequently. The last time I used triclabbedazole in between doses of closantel it did not appear to work. A survey was done over the fence bordering myself and that confirmed resistance. I have spoken to the vet many times about this and we discussed doing a trial with different products and different sheep the only way to find out

That's interesting how long ago did you last use triclabenazole before that?


I was all most thinking maybe doing triclabenazole and closantel at the same time for a right good clear out early autumn. But it would cost a fortune!

I once had a housed hogg drown in the water bucket, so checked its liver and I was shocked at just how much fluke there was despite it looking healthy.

I think it would be over ten tears ago when I last used triclabendizole
I definitely would not use both together
Problem we have is uptake of fluke is so high sheep aren’t dosed regular they can be overwhelmed by fluke.

Question ..
Some of my cows (about 50) are running in and out . Normally I would fluke treat them 5 to 6 wks after housing but different this year having them running out . As they are not perm in should I just get on and fluke them . They still go down to the brook for water .

If it was here I would do them now and do them again later on. Potentially they could be still ingesting fluke as it waterborne

Thankyou . Confirmed what I was thinking .

It depends how bad you are for fluke and what you use. I just use ivomec super and inject everything soon after they come in then again later to catch what was immatures. You might get away with a dose in 5/6 weeks time but I don’t know you will have more idea about that than I do

We use triclabendizol mid September then again beginning of november, closantle at xmas then again beginning of March. Chase up dose of Levifas diamond when marking lambs end of April. Covers all baces then. Rep did say the other day that shouldn’t be using triclabendizol twice but thats what the vet has in the health plan

I’m not sure that there should be many immatures causing a problem in November, so may not be any benefit to using triclabendazole over closantel then, and if triclabendazole still works with you I would keep it for when it’s needed.

Do you think the fluke season is as defined as that? I thought with these very mild wet autumn's they could hovering up eggs in October early November,

Aye it’s hard to say, but I don’t use triclabandazole and it’s working here, and it’s a very flukey place.

Noticed the odd ewe coughing here. At this time of year, would an ordinary wormer that kills adult fluke be enough ? Where in the fluke cycle would fluke be normally in March ? Their lambing in a few weeks time and dont want to be giving them anything too hard on their systems if possible. Also have a few culls and dont want to hold on to them for next two months waiting for withdrawal period if possible.

Fluke should be adults at the moment so a fluke rate dose of white wormer might do the trick if you’ve no resistance.
