WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT ABOUT QUARANTINE DRENCHING?
- All incoming lambs should be quarantine drenched with an active that is known to work.
- Currently, that would be Zolvix Plus, as triple combination drench resistance is becoming more widespread
- After drenching with Zolvix Plus, newly arrived lambs should be in a paddock where large numbers of sheep graze regularly. This will ensure that any eggs that may survive the quarantine drench are diluted amongst other larvae at pasture.
