Ceva Maxicare 500 mℓ

A remedy against roundworms, lung worm, milk tapeworm, liver fluke and nasal bot in sheep and goats, with residual protection against re-infestation of wireworm and hookworm in sheep and goats.

DEWORMING:

Q:  At what age should I deworm my calves/lambs for the first time?

A:  This depends entirely on the circumstances of the farm and farming system. Lambs and calves can start nibbling at grass very early, in the first few days after birth and start ingesting worms. Many animals are dosed from 6 weeks of age onwards but often this is not necessary if no challenge exists. In cases of high challenge, particularly from wireworm it may be necessary to dose earlier than 6 weeks of age.

DOSING:

Q: What are the latest trends concerning dosing of sheep?

A: The latest trend in dosing sheep is to only dose the low percentage of animals which are showing symptoms of worm infestation such as pale mucus membranes of the eyes and mouth, bottle jaw, nasal discharge, poor condition and /or diarrhoea (The 5 point plan). In this way only the animals carrying most of the parasites are dosed while those which are showing no signs of worm burdens are not dosed. This also allows for the eggs of the resistant worms which survive the dosing to be diluted on the pasture with eggs from parasites of non-dosed animals and so helps to slow down the development of resistance.
