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

Routine flock treatment (moderate risk fluke areas): Dose all sheep exposed to fluke infested pasture at regular intervals of 10 weeks throughout the fluke season, usually from September to January/February. An additional preventative treatment in the Spring will assist in reducing the amount of new infection on pasture in the following autumn.

Any bought-in sheep should be dosed before joining the main flock.

The flock should be treated immediately after diagnosis is reached. Veterinary advice should be sought for subsequent dosing intervals.
