Sheep parasite control methods made easier
Farmers once deterred by parasite problems now have easier options. DDT dips or sprays provide strong external parasite control for lice and ticks, while phenolthiazine helps control nodular and stomach worms with drenches after lambing and salt blends for year round protection.
