Sheep Internal Parasite Control

Livamol with BioWorma is a nutritional supplement containing the natural biological control, BioWorma, that captures and consumes infective worm larvae (including chemical resistant/anthelmintic multi-resistant larvae) within the manure of grazing animals.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Dosage and Administration: Dose Livamol with BioWorma according to bodyweight.

1. For best results, treat animals with a suitable chemical wormer/anthelmintic.

2. Ideally, where possible, move the treated animals onto low worm pasture (that is, pasture that has not been grazed by the same animal species for a minimum 6 weeks).

3. The most worm susceptible are young animals (from 3 months up to 18-24 months of age) and periparturient females (last month of pregnancy and while producing milk) as they are the most likely to have less resistance to worm infestation due to low immunity. Pasture contamination by adult stock, even with low faecal egg counts (FEC), should not be underestimated considering the volume of faecal material they place on pasture.

4. Commence daily feeding of Livamol with BioWorma to minimise pasture infectivity and maintain the animalÍs low worm status. The product will not reduce pre-existing larval pasture contamination. Thoroughly mix Livamol with BioWorma with feed or feed supplements.

5. Livamol with BioWorma will begin to work immediately within the manure of treated animals, and for best results may be fed continuously when climatic conditions are conducive to BioWorma and parasitic nematode activity.

6. Livamol with BioWorma is recommended for strategic use during periods when weather conditions are conducive to larval development and transmission onto pasture at temperatures above 5 degrees Celsius.

7. Use in conjunction with a recommended worm management strategy for your area by contacting your Veterinarian, Animal Health Advisor or Government Advisory groups for a strategic Integrated Parasite Management (IPM) plan. It is important to consider the principles of refugia.

8. Faecal egg counts (FECs) may be useful to monitor the effectiveness of the worm management strategy. Other options may include faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) and/or identifying worm species by using faecal larval cultures (FLC).

For oral administration. The required amount of BioWorma should be thoroughly mixed into feed, supplements, premixes, concentrates or loose mixes.

Ausmectin Sheep Drench is a Broad Spectrum oral antiparasitic solution for control and treatment of ivermectin sensitive internal parasites including roundworms, nasal bot and itchmite of sheep.

AUSMECTIN SHEEP DRENCH contains ivermectin, a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of chemicals, which has a unique mode of action. It acts selectively in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. Therefore, AUSMECTIN SHEEP DRENCH has been used for the control and treatment of ivermectin-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms in sheep, including benzimidazole, levamisole and morantel resistant strains of Haemonchus contortus (Barber's Pole Worm), Ostertagia circumcincta and Trichostrongylus colubriformis. It is also effective against lungworm (Dictyocaulus filaria), itchmite (Psorergates ovis) and all parasitic larval stages of nasal bot (Oestrus ovis) in sheep. Ivermectin has a long intrinsic half-life, which provides excellent residual protection against parasitic reinfestation for a varying period depending on the target parasite. 

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Administer orally using any standard drenching equipment or any equipment that provides a consistent dose volume. Dose and equipment should be checked before drenching commences.

The dose rate is 1 mL per each 4 kg bodyweight.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
MEAT: DO NOT USE less than 10 days before slaughter for human consumption.
MILK: DO NOT USE on lactating ewes or within 28 days of lambing where milk or milk products may be used for human consumption.

Precautions: 
Exercise care in handling weak, pregnant and young animals to avoid unnecessary stress.

Avoid yarding animals off-feed overnight, and ensure animals have access to water when yarded prior to drenching.

Dosage and Administration:

For use as a quarantine drench, treat all animals on arrival, or ideally at farm of origin, and hold in yards for at least 24 hours before release. For use in a strategic worm control program, speak to an animal health advisor or veterinarian.

Administer orally. Check accuracy of the drench equipment before and during use. A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment. Dose the mob to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each group (ewes, wethers, rams, lambs). Do not underdose. Where there is a large variation in size within the group, dose rate should be based on the label directions for each weight range. Drafting into two or more lines may be appropriate to avoid excessive overdosing.

Dose. 1 mL/5 kg bodyweight. Shake well before use. See dose rate table on product label for further information.

WSD Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum treatment for roundworm and tapeworm parasites of cattle, sheep and goats.

WSD Fenbendazole is a suspension for oral use as a drench containing 25g/L fenbendazole- a benzimidazole (BZ). Preparations containing BZ compounds are commonly known as a ‘white drench’.

PURPOSE:
Cattle, Sheep, Lambs and Goats:
Mature and immature stages of worm parasites susceptible to BZ compounds: Barber's pole worm (Haemonchus spp), stomach hair worm (Trichostrongylus axei), black scour worms (Trichostrongylus spp), small brown stomach worm (Ostertagia spp), small intestinal worm (Cooperia spp), thin necked intestinal worm (Nematodirus spp) hookworm (Bunostomum trigonocephalum), nodule worm (Oesophagostomum columbianum), large bowel worm (Oesophagostomum venulosum), large mouthed bowel worm (Chabertia ovina), and large lung worm (Dictyocaulus spp). Fenbendazole also has some efficacy against tapeworms (Moniezia spp) and whipworm (Trichuris).

Milking Sheep: Do NOT use in sheep producing milk for human consumption
Milking Goats: Suitable for use in goats producing milk for human consumption (see withholding period).
Dairy Cattle: Suitable for cattle producing milk for human consumption (see withholding period information)

DOSAGE:
Always refer to the label. BZ’s generally have low toxicity but to avoid residue problems, it is good practice to separate into different weight classes if there is a large variation in age and weight.
Sheep and Goats: Dose at the rate of 1ml per 4kg body weight. It is preferable if sheep, lambs or goats are fasted for approximately 18 hours before administering BZ drenches. This may not be feasible for dairy goats.
Cattle: Dose at the rate of 15ml per 50kg body weight

ADVICE ON USE:
WSD Fenbendazole is a reliable broad-spectrum drench for cattle.
• WSD Fenbendazole is useful in treating the effects of immature worm infestations (mainly scouring) in adult sheep and as a clean-up drench for sheep or lambs.
• Adult worms of resistant strains of gastrointestinal worm parasites may not be removed by treatment and this may require the later use of an effective strategic treatment from the WSD range of drenches.
• Resistance to the BZ group of parasiticides is widespread among gastrointestinal parasites on Australian sheep and goat farms, and there may also be resistance among cattle parasites.
• The repeated use of any drench is likely to result in the emergence of resistance and therefore, regular testing for efficacy is recommended if BZ’s are used.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
MEAT (Sheep, Cattle, Goats): DO NOT USE less than fourteen (14) days before slaughter for human consumption.
MILK (Sheep): DO NOT USE in female sheep which are producing or may in the future produce milk or milk products for human consumption.
MILK (Goats): Milk collected from does within twenty-four (24) hours following treatment MUST NOT BE USED for human consumption or processing. This milk should not be fed to kids.
MILK (Cattle): NIL.
