ARE you worming effectively? Now is the time to make sure. The inability to move stock last year is likely to mean there will be high levels of over-wintered worm larvae on some pastures this year. This will significantly increase the risk of infection and pose a big threat to your flocks potential.
Enter the Novartis Wise-up on Worms competition and you could win the ultimate worming package. This includes a free herbage larval test (worth more than £150) to help you assess the problem on your pasture, an expertly planned worming programme based on the result and a years free supply of the recommended sheep wormer. All essential tools for keeping your sheep worm-free at minimum cost.
Know your enemy
A herbage larval test will show the level of over-wintered parasitic larvae on your pasture together with a breakdown of this by worm species.
This can then be used to produce a planned worming programme, selecting the most effective wormer for your particular situation from one of the three main groups. Remember, to avoid resistance, it is best to rotate your use of wormer group on an annual basis.
Your free wormer will be selected from the Novartis range. This includes Rycoben SC (1-BZ), Sure LD (2-LM) and Depidex Drench (3-AV), giving you the peace of mind and confidence of using proven brands. Tried and tested over many years, they come complete with the on-farm support of AMTRA-trained Youngs farm account managers to help you get the best from your worming regime.
