Which injection or dose for fluke &worms in cattle

Just wondering what people are currently using to treat fluke & worms in bullocks after housing about 6 weeks in.
Last year I used levafas diamond dose but pens were quite messy for a while afterwards.
Interested in something different but still very affected to do the job

If you waited another 2 weeks until they are 8 weeks housed then you could use trodax for the fluke. Alternatively tribenzacol (sp?) type products like fasinex could be used from 2 weeks after housing. Levafas diamond does make the skitter for a few days but has the benefit of treating for worms, albeit an older type wormer. Either of the above fluke products would need used along with a wormer

With bought in cattle, letters for TB tracing tests, turn up regularly. So I'm using short withdrawal products, that leave me the option of shifting them off before the test is due.

Do you find IBR bought in cattle could have an effect on a TB test as both are done on the airways.
