Worming Rotation

“3 WAY WORMING ROTATION FOR SHOW LAMBS”

Feeders-- Don’t let worms pressure your young lambs from getting off to a good start. Managing parasites is of vital importance and your choices are many in the products to use. My preference for my first worming on incoming feeder lambs is Cydectin sheep drench. Cydectin works on adult and immature stages of stomach worms-- dosage is 1 ml. per 11 lbs. of body weight.

Pro Tip—I still like a 3 way rotation for worming club lambs during the growing and finishing stages of development. Cydectin oral—Ivomec injectable sub Q- Prohibit drench. Worm every 30-45 days depending on your location and history for parasites. Probiotic paste and B12 is always a good supportive program when worming a group of lambs. Keep them clean and performing with consistent parasite control. Thanks and good luck with your show stock!
