They are good guns to use, but be careful the piece of plastic which retains the plunger, doesn't fall out and get lost !
I thought you'd have pushed for the snazzy backpack too!Freebie turned up today, from the 1litre bottle I bought at Wynnstay a few weeks back.
Everyone loves a freebie......

What are they like for white/fluke drenches? I’ve got another free 1 to pick up on my next order before long to used white wormer yesterday through a simcro gun (plastic no Phillips) and it was at least twice as long to do them as it is with a optiline gun but I’m not sure if the optiline will work ok with the emulsions?
Christ I just remembered the one I have on LV is a red fasinex labelled optiline I was given a few months ago as CCF couldn’t give them awayI’ve used mine for white drench OK and one of my collection came as a freebie when I bought some Fasinex 100 on an offer, so I can’t see why it should be a problem.
I've had a couple of Zolvix guns and the nozzle has come out of the plastic on both. One lamb actually swallowed one of them.Christ I just remembered the one I have on LV is a red fasinex labelled optiline I was given a few months ago as CCF couldn’t give them away
How long would the muck from sheep that was emptied out in shed by zolvix wormer or any other wormer be safe to spread on the ground,Not trying to be an arse but just putting this here:
I got brought in resistance to all groups to varying degrees buying sheep from the dales at mart, - varying from white only killing 20% of worms to 80% for clear and yellow.... All mixed up and causing hell.
On vets advice they were housed in August and all muck produces was given away to an arable neighbour without stock -to break the worm cycle without using a wormer. This was only a group of 60 ewes brought in mind you. Then they were turned out behind my own homebred flock to pick up local worms and any that were suffering with worms were just sent to kill. Zolvix was then used to clean up this group again before being folded into the flock.
I have currently got only resistance to white showing 94% killed. I've only wormed 1/5thmy sheep this year based on scops - used orange wormer and next will be clear. In time hopefully white will become viable again and I can avoid problems.
Their clik price doesn't look very competitive.Just resurrecting this thread
Was searching the forum to see where others buy their wormers online
cheapest place I’ve found so far is www.prowormers.co.uk
my vets can’t match online so doing some shopping around
Yeah £50 to high on Clikzin and £23 to high on Crovect.Their clik price doesn't look very competitive.
Not priced zolvix with my vets yet. They are generally as good or better than anyone else for most things so I like to support them.

Dysect over 20% too dear as well.Yeah £50 to high on Clikzin and £23 to high on Crovect.
I wish we had a vet like that - one of the downsides of keeping livestock in an arable area, I guessI am fortunate in that my vet takes the view that they would rather sell product at a slim margin, than lose out on any margin at all, so I happy to support them if they are somewhere near.

We do not buy many sheep in - but anything that we do gets a dose of Zolvix and a shot of Dectomax in the pen the trailer drops them intojust shows the risks your taking with bought in sheep from mart , must be a nightmare buying off dealers on top ,
