WSD Spurt is a treatment for body lice of sheep.
WSD Spurt is a pour-on formulation for topical use containing 25g/L cypermethrin- a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and a scourable dye.

Indications:
Sheep and Lambs: Control of biting lice (Bovicola ovis) in sheep off-shears
Milking Sheep: Do NOT use in sheep producing milk for human consumption

Dosage:
Always refer to the label.
Applied at a dose rate of 1mL/5kg body weight.
The correct dose for the weight range of sheep should be applied as a single continuous strip 20-40cm in length down the middle of the back within 24 hours of shearing. It is recommended that treated sheep be held together in the yards for 2 hours after treatments and not be let straight out of the race into the paddock.

Advice On Use:

• WSD SPURT is applied undiluted.
• It must not be stored in any container other than the original including overnight. Do not leave WSD SPURT containers uncovered or in direct sunlight.
• It is critical that sheep be cleanly shorn without residual clumps or tufts of wool and WSD SPURT must be applied less than 24 hours after shearing to ensure effectiveness.
• Correct application is critical and it should not be applied as a single spot or to sheep which are wet. Light to moderate rainfall soon after application should not reduce efficacy.
• A clean muster and single shearing with immediate correct treatment of every animal is ideal for achieving effective control of lice.
• Lambs at foot cannot be treated, and therefore it is recommended that ewes due to lamb within 6 weeks or ewes with lambs at foot should not be treated with WSD SPURT.
• If a split shearing is inevitable it is critical that treated and untreated sheep be kept separate.
• The repeated use of any synthetic pyrethroid is likely to result in the emergence of resistance in sheep lice. It is therefore recommended to regularly alternate treatment with a dip such as WSD FLOCKMASTER MKII.
• Resistance to synthetic pyrethroids is present in some populations of sheep lice, and treatment failures may be due to resistant lice being present.

WSD Closantel is a narrow spectrum treatment for internal parasites of sheep and lambs with sustained action against re-infestation by Haemonchus contortus (barbers pole worm), and activity against Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke).

Type of Preparation:  WSD Closantel  is a clear solution for oral use as a drench containing 37.5g/L closantel – a member of the salicylanilide and substituted phenol group of compounds.

Indications:
Sheep and Lambs: Haemonchus contortus (barber's pole worm), Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke) from 6 weeks, and Oestrus ovis (nasal bot). Closantel provides sustained protection against the re-infestation by both mature and immature stages of barber's pole worm in sheep for 4 weeks after dosing. Closantel controls both mature and immature stages of liver fluke as well as all stages of nasal bots.

Milking Sheep: Do NOT use in sheep producing milk for human consumption

Dosage:
Always refer to the label. Separate into different weight classes if there is a large variation in age and weight.
Dose at the rate of 1mL per 5kg body weight.

Advice On Use:
• WSD Closantel  is particularly useful if administered in spring before the rise in Haemonchus parasites in the sheep or survival of larvae on pastures.
• Administration in spring is also useful in removing residual liver fluke infestations, and managing the contamination and early pickup of the liver fluke in affected areas. This provides a useful alternative to WSD triclabendazole products.
• When treating an outbreak of haemonchosis (barbers pole infestation), consideration should be given to using an alternative drench from the WSD range, particularly WSD LEVAMISOLE or WSD COMBINATION.
• WSD Closantel  is particularly effective when combined with management strategies to control haemonchosis including rotation and spelling of paddocks.
• Closantel is NOT effective against the other major gastrointestinal worm parasites.
• Resistance to Closantel is widespread among barbers pole worm (Haemonchus) in some sheep-raising districts.
• The repeated use of any drench is likely to result in the emergence of resistance and therefore, regular testing for efficacy is recommended if Closantel is used.
• The emergence of resistance on an individual farm is likely to result in the failure of Closantel to provide extended protection against re-infestation by Haemonchus.
