Haemonchus (barbers' pole worm) causes severe anaemia. and an iron supplement will help correct it.
But the only definite way of eliminating it is to treat with an effective anthelmintic.

+1 There’s little point treating a symptom, if you don’t tackle it’s cause.
i guess he wouldve already done that

Owwwwww! You are going to like this!
Ok I've done some research. Are you sitting down Spin ? . . . There is a BEER DRENCH for sheep! A stout I imagine.
It will be "one for you and one for me! Hic!"

Haemonchus is an absolute bugger to eradicate, becomes resistant to wormers very quickly - I'd do something drastic if it started to show up in numbers like shed them, worm them burn the straw and keep them off the pasture that contained it for a while, (ideally a year - cut hay on it or something) if it's possible.
Edited to add: I believe it usually shows little resistance to some flukicides, such as cloasntel.

Harmonchus doesn’t live long in the pasture. Is normally carried by adult sheep themselves. Having a good writing strategy normally sorts it.

It's quite difficult to eradicate with wormers because of it's ability to develop resistance very quickly. As it becomes warmer, it's lasting longer on the pasture, I believe. There was quite an interesting (to me
) talk given about it by Moredun earlier in the year. I know of a farm around here that's having hellish problems with it.

yes have treated
If you’ve treated it effectively, surely the sheep will sort themselves out. Most soil already has a lot of iron in it, so will pass through the forage. Any cheap/red coloured loose minerals are usually high in iron too, hence the colour.
As it’s a copper antagonist, I’d be extremely wary of treating any animals with it directly.
Yes Closantel is v. effective , I do my adult sheep in January with Flukiver but Im not sure I would want to over use it, ... like at this time of year on , plus it's got a v. Long withdrawal date with regards lambs selling.

yeah but one egg yolk has as much iron as 3 pints a guiness
i tend to get the sheep inside in batches....worm....leave 24 hrs before turn out.....ivermectin working well for me......clean pastures had little effect IME......thing is you can do a field fec thats says everything ok then you can pick up a sick individual
quite widespread in norfolk i believe

I've had the same problem.
I asked a vet for advice on an Iron supplement and was told there isn't anything currently licensed.
