Don't Forget to Deworm Your Flock Prior to Breeding
Ovine Newsletter 3rd Quarter 2003
All breeding ewes and rams should be dewormed prior to the breeding season. This will reduce parasite stress on the ewe and ram and improve breeding efficiency. Remember to rotate dewormer families on an annual basis to minimize resistance to parasites.
Product Options for Fall Deworming:
Anthezole Drench 100 ml 10 ml/100#
VMC Panacur Drench 100 ml 5 ml/100#
Valbazen Drench 1 Liter 5 ml/100#

The past 2 fall seasons the Campylobactor (Vibrio) and Chlamydia Bacterin (Enzootic Abortion) have been harder to come by. This year these vaccines are readily available.
