What is an oral sheep drench?
Oral sheep drenches are liquid antiparasitic treatments administered into the mouth of an animal using a drenching gun. Once they are ingested by sheep, the active ingredients work internally to control susceptible parasites.
They’re popular choices amongst producers for their accurate dosing and ease of application when the instructions on the Product Label are followed. Oral sheep drenches are commonly applied during flock handling milestones, including marking, weaning, joining, and pre-lambing.
Why internal parasite control is critical in sheep
Parasites like worms can have a major impact on sheep health, growth rates, and overall farm productivity and profitability. Internal parasites affect sheep at all stages, but are particularly problematic in lambs, weaners, and stressed animals.
It’s critical to keep parasite burdens under control to avoid impacts such as:
- Reduced weight gain and poor growth
- Lower wool production and quality
- Reduced fertility and performance
- Increased susceptibility to disease
- Animal welfare issues
Benefits of using oral sheep drenches
Oral sheep drenches are a core parasite management amongst producers thanks to a range of practical advantages. They include:
- Accurate dosing based on bodyweight
- Effective internal parasite control when administered correctly
- Suitability across different classes of sheep
- Easy integration into flock health management programs
- Wide use and understanding amongst producers
When applied strategically and responsibly, oral sheep drenches are a key component in many sheep enterprises, and one of the most beneficial things you can do for your flock.
Resistance management and responsible use
Internal parasite resistance is a prevalent issue in the Australian sheep production landscape, which makes the responsible use of oral drenches critical. When administering an oral sheep drench to your flock, always follow Product Label directions, use recommended dosing amounts and techniques, rotate active ingredients, and incorporate non-chemical management strategies. Combined, these can help to maintain long-term drench effectiveness and prevent resistance.
