When to use

There are two crucial times to use capsules:

In ewes prior to lambing

Lambing places great stress and metabolic demand on ewes, resulting in a suppressed immune system. At this time they are more vulnerable to the health and productivity effects of gastrointestinal parasites.
Treatment of ewes prior to lambing provides 100-days protection against gastrointestinal parasites over the lambing period – leaving ewes better able to focus on meeting the lambs’ nutritional requirements.
Reduced worm burdens means better ewe condition and increased liveweight. On top of this, protein and energy allowances are channelled into milk production rather than fighting off worm infection.1
With better milk supply from ewes, lambs are better nourished resulting in an improved lamb survival rate.
Capsule treatment assists to reduce pasture contamination by removing existing worm burdens in the ewe. Therefore reducing re-infection from newly ingested larvae.2

In lambs at or after weaning, or at 20 kg lwt

As with ewes, capsule use helps keep weaners healthy and reduces parasite infection. This allows more essential nutrients to be channelled into improving condition and liveweight during this crucial growth phase.1
100-day control of worms helps reduce pasture contamination.
Lambs should be treated to coincide with high worm challenge.
