Although wool coming off can be due to lack of nutrition, again observance is key

Don't fall for the marketing and sales promotion, we will need these drug formulations to work, well into the future, for sustainable sheep production.

I agree with you there. Just was a little confused, there is so much choice nowadays... Will do

There is an opportunity here for someone to run a book on how long people think Zolvix will remain effective now anyone can splash it about without their vets input.

Jesus! Is that the same drug as zolvix?

No, zolvix has abermectin plus another active, might be montepantel? or something?
I will try to find it, it's been around for a while here but not often used/needed as most drenching programmes are pretty effective. Usually a clear drench then a combi then a mectin.. by that stage they shouldn't need much else IME. FEC has stopped most routine drenching.
I gave some ewes a pre-lamb mineral drench a week or two back helping a mate - possibly the first time I've wormed an adult animal in 25 years or more.

Zolvix active is monepantel and over here it's the sole active. I think you guys have it as a combi too now?
Edit: yes I see what you have shown is Zolvix plus.
Can you find a price for straight zolvix for us as that is a like for like comparison for what we have here?

Yes, with abamectin, will get a price for you guys tomorrow, purely for interests' sake.
I don't think many here would pay the equivalent price that you have to pay over there!
I am no wormer expert by any means
Do you use toxovax? Be interesting to know the price of that to!

I assume it's illegal to order animal health products from NZ?

Yes, I gave my ewe lambs a toxo because of all the cats I'm not allowed to shoot!!
Got given the dregs of a friend's toxo-- think he said it was around $1.80 per dose? £1? But could be well out. I'll ring the vet club and get some prices, anyone else?
Kevtherev might have to crank up the Cessna yet, bring me some sacks of sainfoin seeds and backload some cheap drench

It would be illegal without an import licence from our vet, who presumably can't sign off importing a product that is actually available here.
Could perhaps get a licence for Zolvix Plus, but not Zolvix? By the time you'd paid shipping though, it would probably be as dear as here. Cessnas don't fly for nothing you know. I imported some Campyvac from NZ last year, and was surprised that the import licence was so simple and only cost me a tenner from the vet. Cost of refrigerated shipping could be a lot higher of course, and often as much as the drug itself, unless you know someone that can act as a 'mule', and willing to bring a cool box with them.
Customs just wave it through if it has the proper import documentation.

That drench would be more comparable to the likes of Animec (0.8mg/ml of ivermectin), which is £96 for 12.5L in Wynnstay (with a FOC drenching gun
), so not quite such a huge difference in price maybe?

I think a 20 litre of Matrix (mineralised) is around $620 incl GST here.

Can't get Campyvac over here, as there's no UK licence. It has to be imported under licence.

Really wish I hadn't just read that, we're paying £4-£5 per dose for toxovax over here in the UK.
We really are having our pants pulled down!
Currently waiting for my £1k bill for 200 doses of toxovax for the ewe hoggs
