WSD

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.

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 Trough Blox is a treatment for stock water troughs to control algal growth and to provide a copper supplement to livestock.

Type of Preparation: WSD Trough Blox contains 63g/Kg copper in a slowly soluble block for use in stock water troughs.

Indications: To control algal growth in plastic and concrete troughs. Milking sheep, dairy cattle & dairy goats: Suitable for use in the water supplies of animals producing milk for human consumption.

Dosage: Always refer to the label. One 200g block is sufficient for 7000 litre capacity trough for 30 days. One 2kg block will treat 70,000 litres for 30 days.

Advice On Use: WSD Trough Blox are safe to use with most livestock water supplies. Do not use in steel tanks or troughs. Do not overdose water supplies when using this product. WSD Trough Blox should not be used in human drinking water. Do not use in areas or districts where high copper levels are known to occur or where there is a risk of chronic copper toxicity. Care should be exercised with livestock fed a ration supplemented with copper or if copper bullets have been administered. For troughs of less than 7000 litre capacity, each 200g block should be divided into the proportion appropriate to the volume of the trough. 

WSD Trough Blox's are designed for prevention and control of algae rather than killing algae. If a trough has heavy algae growth it is advised to clean the trough first and then use a WSD Trough Blox to control the future algae growth.
