Routine herd treatment (high risk fluke areas): As a guide, dose all cattle exposed to fluke infected pastures preventatively at regular intervals of 10 weeks from March-April through to October/November. In situations where stock are out-wintered, a dose in January may also be required. All animals grazing the pasture should be treated at these times. Any bought-in cattle should be dosed before joining the main herd. Veterinary advice should be sought with regard to specific preventative dosing regimes.

Routine herd treatment (moderate risk fluke areas): Dose all cattle exposed to fluke infested pastures at regular intervals of 10 weeks throughout the fluke season, usually from September to January/February. Milking cows should be dosed at drying off. An additional preventative treatment in the Spring will assist in reducing the amount of new infection on pasture in the following autumn.

Where cattle are inwintered, a single dose of Fasinex should be given 2 weeks after housing.

Bought in cattle: from fluke risk areas should be treated before joining the main herd.

Affected cattle, usually young animals, should be treated immediately after diagnosis is reached. Veterinary advice should be sought for subsequent dosing intervals.
