Quarantine treatments

Minimum treatment considerations
Worms and scab
•
Assume all incoming sheep are carrying worms with some resistance.
•
Drench with a new generation product (Orange 4-AD, Zolvix
TM
or Purple 5-SI Startect
TM
).
Give an injectable clear, 3-ML, product. 1% Moxidectin is recommended but must not
be used in sheep that ever have or ever will be treated with Footvax
TM
.
•
Following drenching, yard sheep on concrete for 48hrs whilst any remaining worm eggs
in the gut are voided.
•
Turn sheep out onto ‘dirty’ pasture recently grazed by home sheep.
Fluke
•
Appropriate products and timings of a quarantine fluke treatment are always best discussed
with your vet.
•
Flukicide resistance should be discussed with your vet.
•
Following fluke treatment sheep should be kept on low fluke risk fields for 30 days whilst
remaining fluke eggs are voided.
