Toxocara vitulorum.

[tinsheet]

Came across these in routine samples from one batch of lambs not seen before! 650epg. Nearly all toxocara

To drench or not to drench that is the question?

Lambs doing well on clover ley few shitty ones but still looking fine.
Minor research says not harm to sheep?

Last drenched end of July yellow drench
Any advice much appreciated
Thanks.

Are you sure it is Vitulorum as this is normally only found in cattle and specifically Bison!

A bit of research says it's fairly common in the environment and is harmless to sheep! Never come across it before will be sampling again in 10 days see if it's still about
