[Jacob-list] Worming

[gordon johnston]

| agree wholeheartedly with Trisha's comments. I am surprised to find so many people using Ivermectin (organophosphate) type wormers. Many 'traditional' sheep farmers swear by OP dips and wormers - yes they are effective but at what ultimate cost? Not good for people or the environment. Probably pretty grim for sheep too. 

We worm annually just before lambing. We used Panacur for some years but have recently changed to Levacide Injectible - our vet states this can be given orally at the same dose as injecting. We inject.
