Closicare Plus Selenium Sheep Drench – Sustained Action Oral Anthelmintic and Flukicide for Sheep

Active Ingredients: Closantel @ 37.5g/L & Sodium Selenate (Mineral-selenium) @1.2g/L

Closicare plus Selenium is used for the sustained control of barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) and control of liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica) mature and immature – including six weeks old stages, and nasal bot (Oestrus ovis) and aids in control of selenium responsive conditions in sheep

Closicare plus Selenium is recommended for the Control of barber’s pole worm in conjunction with another drench (e.g. Cydectin Long Acting Injection for Sheep).

Why Choose Closicare Plus Selenium:

  1. Contains closantel

Closantel is a medium spectrum drench with activity against barber’s pole worm, liver fluke and Nasal bot.

  1. 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. Closicare plus Selenium protects sheep against closantel-susceptible strains of barber’s pole worm for 4 weeks (up to 99.9% efficacy at four weeks after drenching).

  1. Control of liver fluke

Closicare plus Selenium 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.

  1. Contains selenium

Selenium deficiency is common in the higher rainfall areas in which barber’s pole worm and liver fluke are prevalent. Selenium deficiencies can increase the effect a worm burden can have on animals through suppressing their immune systems. Other problems associated with selenium deficiency are ill thrift, infertility, reduced production (milk, wool and meat), scouring and ‘white muscle’ disease

Closicare is effective against sensitive strains of the following internal parasites of sheep.

  • Barber’s pole worm (adult and immature) – Haemonchus contortus
  • Liver fluke (adult and immature, including six week old stages) – Fasciola hepatica
  • Nasal bot (all parasitic stages) – Oestrus ovis

 Closicare plus Selenium should not be used when selenium intake from pasture is high or selenium is provided by other means (such as pasture top dressing, vaccine, pellets or selenium drenches) or if blood selenium levels at treatment are high.

Tips For Use

When to Use Closicare Plus Selenium:

  1. 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. Closicare plus Selenium 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.

  1. As a liver fluke drench

The early spring preventative fluke treatment is important as it reduces pasture contamination with fluke eggs. The use of Closicare plus Selenium 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.

  1. 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 barber’s pole worm is the target, then Closicare plus Selenium is a useful tool to extend the life of other drenches, including the macrocyclic la.
