Closantel
This product will kill fluke from 5 weeks of age and over. Resistance to the product has not been confirmed in the UK so it is very likely to be effective.
This product could be used as a quarantine treatment in conjunction with triclabendazole – give the triclabendazole first when the new stock arrives, and the closantel second.
A gold-standard quarantine protocol could include two treatments with this product six weeks apart, followed by a three-week wait, before joining the main flock at pasture.
With all drugs, dosage should be determined accurately, but this is particularly important with this product.
