Heptavac p and trodax + cydectin
- Thread starter Llmmm
- Start date
As long as they are fit and well, Trodax and colostrial jabs at the same time will be fine,
Why was it they needed the cydectin btw?

Neighbour has sheep scab and a few of mine seem to be loseing wool they probably dont have scab but i just want to make sure as dont want a scab outbreak during lambingAs long as they are fit and well, Trodax and colostrial jabs at the same time will be fine,

it says no adverse effects with clostridials but doesn’t say cydectin, if your worried phone the manufacture, I’ve done 5-6 different applications at once to hundreds of animals, asked the manufacture’s of them all and the response was phone us back after a week so we can say someone has done that mix, none died btw.
Think ill chance it its bound to be more stress putting them trough handling them on two sepetate occasions.Would dectomax be as effective in my situation as a scab prevention as it is intramuscular and trodax and heptavac are subcutabeous.

Not a clue on that sorry, have you got a small group you can try first incase any drop :/ someone on here will have bound to have done that mix as it’s only 3 way..
Would it be better first to check thoroughly to make sure if they have scab or not ?
If you cant move sheep from that neighbour/ boundary.. how bout a double fence of temporary electric to stop them from passing it onto yours .
If they do have it Dipping is the best way to get rid of scab, doing them at the same time as sheep keeping neighbours is the best plan

No point double fencing, birds carry wool back and forth. 250metre’s away, 2 roads and a moor and I still caught it years back.Would it be better to check thoroughly to make sure if they have scab or not ?

I'd say Heptavac and Trodax fine - I do Bravoxin10 and Trodax together...
Just be mindful Heptavac P+ and Trodax will both give a ewe a knock on their own. If doing them together, you want your ewes to be fit, IMO!
Can't comment on Cydectin but my gut says the 3 on same day may be too much.

Not a blib thet mixed the vaccine incorrectly and sent it out and it didn't work . We have had to go to loads of farms were they used dectomax first and was a waste of time.
brave man asking on here /smallholders be up in arms
