When to use Levitape and why?
- Highly effective against mature and developing immature forms of nematodes, including lungworms, and tapeworms in sheep.
- Use Levamisole when a 2-LV yellow drench is needed in your wormer programme.
- Dose ewes and rams in poor condition due to worm infection, pre-tupping.
- Dose lambs at intervals throughout the grazing season, depending on levels of pasture infection, to prevent the build up of worm infection on the pasture and the risk of re-infection.
