Description

WSD Closantel Sheep Drench

Active Ingredient: Closantel @ 37.5g/L

Similar or comparable to Closicare Sheep Drench (Virbac)

WSD Closantel Sheep Drench is a narrow spectrum treatment for internal parasites of sheep and lambs with sustained action against re-infestation by Haemonchus Contortus (Barbers Pole Worm), and activity against Fasciola Hepatica (Liver Fluke) and Nasal Bots (Oestrus Ovis).  

What parasites will WSD Closantel control;

  • Haemonchus Contortus (barber’s pole worm)
  • Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke) from 6 weeks
  • Oestrus ovis (nasal bot)

WSD Closantel provides sustained protection against the re-infestation by both mature and immature stages of barber’s pole worm in sheep for 4 weeks after dosing. Closantel controls both mature and immature stages of a liver fluke as well as all stages of nasal bots.

Why choose WSD Closantel Sheep Drench;

  • Contains Closantel – Closantel is a medium spectrum drench with activity against barber’s pole worm, liver fluke and Nasal bot.
  • Control of Barber’s Pole Worm – Barber’s pole worms are insatiable feeders, sucking blood from the lining of the stomach, causing anaemia. Sheep with heavy infections of barber’s pole worms lack stamina, have pale gums and conjunctiva, and may also have bottle-jaw or constipation.  If present in large numbers, barber’s pole worms can kill sheep. Closantel can provide control of susceptible barber’s pole worm, including sustained protection against re-infection.
  • Control of Liver Fluke – WSD Closantel Sheep Drench provides control of immature and adult liver fluke including the 6 week (immature) stage. Treating immature flukes reduces the damage that they do to the animal’s liver, which in turn reduces overall production losses.

When treating an outbreak of Barbers Pole infestation (Haemonchosis), consideration should be given to using an alternative drench from the WSD range, particularly WSD Levamisole Oral Drench for Sheep or WSD Combination.

WSD Closantel Sheep Drench is particularly effective when combined with management strategies to control Haemonchosis (Barbers Pole) including rotation and spelling of paddocks.

    Specialist Sales is bound by the registered claims listed on the products label, and as WSD Closantel Sheep Drench is registered for use in Sheep only, we can't recommend you use it on Alpacas.  We suggest speaking with your local Vet as they can recommend specific 'off-label' use of veterinary products.  WSD Closantel Sheep Drench provides control of immature and adult liver fluke, including the six weeks (immature) stage in Sheep.

Tips For Use

 

When to Use WSD Closantel Sheep Drench;

  • When Targeting Barber’s Pole Worm:

Barber’s pole worm has an enormous egg output, so can build up quickly when conditions are suitable (warm and wet). Infected sheep can succumb quickly to disease because of the huge impact of the worms’ blood feeding. Closantel’s sustained activity against susceptible barber’s pole worm is particularly useful for targeting the worm if it is the predominant species on your farm. WSD Closantel offers 4 weeks protection against reinfection by susceptible barber’s pole worm and protects against pasture contamination by worm eggs for up to 6 weeks. If other worms are causing problems at the same time, a broader spectrum product should be used.

  • As A Liver Fluke Drench:

The early spring preventative fluke treatment is important as it reduces pasture contamination with fluke eggs. The use of WSD Closantel Shep Drench at this time provides an effective fluke treatment (no early immature and few immature stages should be present) while rotating away from the heavily used triclabendazole drenches. It will also help to suppress the barber’s pole worm population early in the risk period.

  • When rotating to a non-ML drench

It is important to use effective drenches on your property. If closantel drenches still give effective control on your property (>95% efficacy) and the barber’s pole worm is the target, then WSD Closantel is a useful tool to extend the life of other drenches, including the macrocyclic la.


Advice On Use:

  • WSD Closantel is particularly useful if administered in spring before the rise in Haemonchus parasites in the sheep or survival of larvae on pastures.
  • Administration in spring is also useful in removing residual liver fluke. infestations, and managing the contamination and early pickup of the liver fluke in affected areas. This provides a useful alternative to WSD triclabendazole products.
  • When treating an outbreak of haemonchosis (barbers pole infestation), consideration should be given to using an alternative drench from the WSD range, particularly WSD Levamisole or WSD Combination.
  • WSD Closatnel is particularly effective when combined with management strategies to control haemonchosis including rotation and spelling of paddocks.
  • Closantel is not effective against the other major gastrointestinal worm parasites.
  • Resistance to closantel is widespread among barbers pole worm (Haemonchus) in some sheep-raising districts.
  • The repeated use of any drench is likely to result in the emergence of resistance and therefore, regular testing for efficacy is recommended if closantel is used.
  • The emergence of resistance on an individual farm is likely to result in the failure of the closantel to provide extended protection against re-infestation by Haemonchus.

Restraints:

  • Do not use in female sheep which are producing or may in the future produce milk or milk products for human consumption.
