What are the benefits of combining Abamectin & Praziquantel;

Abamectin is a potent, short-acting member of the macrocyclic lactone (ML) family of drenches. Praziquantel is the only chemical that controls both segments and heads of tapeworm. It makes sense to remove tapeworms to reduce the overall worm burden of your lambs, giving them the best opportunity to achieve peak performance.

• Firstmectin SE Drench for Sheep and Lambs is for broad-spectrum parasite control.
  Firstmectin SE is highly effective against abamectin-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, nasal bots and itch mites. It also provides control of tapeworms (heads and segments).
• Firstmectin SE Drench is ideal for lambs.
  For a young lamb, life is a risky business. They’re vulnerable to cold, predators and worms. As soon as they start to eat pasture, they develop a worm burden. Unlike older sheep, lambs have not built up their immunity against worms. Worm infections lead to reduced wool production and lower body weights in sheep of any age; a high worm burden will have a far bigger impact on young sheep.
• Firstmectin SE Drench for Sheep and Lambs contains selenium.
  Selenium deficiencies can increase the effect a worm’s burden can have on animals by 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.
