Uses
For use in sheep & lambs in the control and treatment of:
Immature and mature Liver Fluke (Fasciola hepatica)
Gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited, immature and adult stages)
Lungworm (including benzimiadazole resistant strains)
Tapeworms (heads and segments)
Nasal bot fly larvae
Ticks
Dosage & Administration
1ml of Supaverm per 5 kg bodyweight (ir 10mg/kg closantel and 15mg/kg mebendazole).
Gastrointestinal worms
The frequency of treatment will depend on the level of pasture contamination. A suggested programme is to treat ewes prior to lambing, 6 weeks after lambing and prior to tupping to reduce pasture contamination. Dose lambs at regular intervals during high risk periods.
Lungworm
For the treatment and prevention of inhibited, immature and adult stages of benzimidazole resistant and susceptible H. contortus, dose at lambing to help prevent pasture contamination by infected ewes. Treat all animals at 6 weekly intervals during high risk periods in summer and autumn.
Liver Fluke
All sheep on infested pasture should be dosed at regular intervals during the fluke season (September β March).
Since closantel has been shown to delay egg-laying for up to 13 weeks after artificial infection, treatment intervals of 10β12 weeks throughout the fluke season are recommended. In severe fluke seasons, more frequent dosing may be necessary. The treatment of ewes with a single dose in the spring will contribute to reducing pasture contamination during the following summer and autumn. Any sheep brought in from fluke areas should be dosed before they join the flock.
