Just got my FECS back an hour ago, the best was 1200 and worst 1600, so on the wormer first thing, Caught me out again, still think the lush grass is playing a part with the skits
Can I purchase bolus from Wynstay,( Mayo )) I think andybk mentioned?

Thanks, I'm going there in the morning so will see what they have
Will there be any need to keep them going on the energy/mineral buckets?
just gone through £300 worth.

Having the same issue here. I’ve just had the fec results back: 300epg strongyle, 350 cocci, plus some tapeworm eggs.
these were dosed with ivermectin about 4 weeks ago.

Planning on levamisole, TE drench and a fluke drench.
Does that sound right?

They are on a very strong westerwolds aftermath btw

I’ve given up on those as not lastingmuch longer than a drench, but costing 3x as much and harder/more time consumer to give.

yes, i would say 2or3x harder to do than using the 'zolvix' gun up the race.

i went through £800 worth of tubby buckets last through orf....none this year....purely getting on top of haemonchus and the resulting improvment in immune system i think

brinicombe even sent me a letter reminding me of contact details

How many ewes have you got? I wouldn’t have spent half that (700 ewes lambing) and considered it too much with the new/higher intake formulation from DB.

not only that just needed salt blocks for the orf (if at all will burn itself through in a few weeks left alone , if not suckling ) ,
