In this video I do my best to explain what I know about Zolvix and what I believe are the benefits of using it as part of your worming plan.
I'd love to create a discussion about this one so feel free to message me privately at thesheepgame@outlook.com or leave a comment on the video if you have any questions or you disagree with anything I say. I'm always willing to admit i'm wrong and learn from it.
Thanks to Vet Kaz from Blacksheep Farm Health Alnwick for helping me out.
Here are the links Kaz was talking about.

Great video! I do believe after dosing with Zolvix you should be putting sheep back on to dirty pasture and not clean. Reason being, the Zolvix is not 100% as any wormer is and you do not want the ones that are left behind (most resistance) to breed and multiply on your clean pasture. By putting them back on to dirty pasture you are essentially diluting the ones left behind from Zolvix with the other worms on your farm, meaning less resistance over time.
@TheSheepGame
@TheSheepGame 3 года назад
Yeah that’s the way it was explained to me. Resistant worms breed with non resistant worms and make a half and half that we can still kill.... or something like that😁

We had a problem with worm resistance in our lambs this year. We used an Ivermectin (clear) and it did nothing. Got the vet out and he told us to use zolvix and explained everything as you have. The only thing the vet said different was to use zolvix every other year and a purple drench every other year. Basically zolvix one year, purple the next to save any resistance happening to them. Cracking video as always tho cammy 💪🏻

@lorlorslinger9617
@lorlorslinger9617 3 года назад
I'm used to dealing with horses & oral wormers. The guidance is to use a different type of wormer each time, worms are seasonal so the same brand/type of wormer just won't work all year round, plus (as you said) it helps stop resistance. To me, it's common sense to use different ones throughout the year.

Great video Cammy! Pple need to know more about this stuff. I had to learn about it 2,3 year ago when I bought in sheep with worm resistance..burst me balls that yr.. also the only time I've ever got dung samples done. I dose same as yourself white then clear only time I use zolvix (apart from above when I found out about it) is buying in stock, the local vets here are reluctant to sell it as a 'flock dose'. I blame reps and the likes for worm resistance they were flat out for years telling pple to dose everything all the time and no need to be at it atall
@TheSheepGame
@TheSheepGame 3 года назад
That’s interesting mate. Funny u say that about reps. I actually spoke to someone at Elanco about it for more information and they were saying how they really don’t want people using this as a ‘flock dose’ and it should only be used as i’ve tried to describe it. The high price is actually a good thing to prevent the over use of it.

So, no strawberry shortcake was on the table for Easter. Same with animals. The drugs are HEAVILY tested at the molecular level for anything that might be bad for human consumption.

Great video. I’d class myself as a pretty crap farmer in terms of money making, but I do go “by the book” with worming! I use a cocktail of various drugs when I get new sheep in and Zolvix is one. Great product. I do FEC every three months for worms and fluke and as such, I haven’t had to worm/fluke any of my existing sheep since March 2019 (other than their arrival cocktail!). Costs more to do this for me but means I don’t have to worm randomly, I’m hoping to learn how to do my own FEC so I can minimise costs in future! Ever fancy doing a video on FEC? Maybe a vet/trained farmer/lab tech showing you how it’s done etc and benefits of checking regularly? :)

I went to a talk promoting zolvix where I managed to piss the rep off by saying that as the product is so expensive, there would inevitably be product left behind with the new delivery method. If the bottle had a reservoir in the base, it could empty more efficiently. Glad my criticism was warranted. I think under dosing has been a major contributor to worm resistance. Looks like the extra cost of Zolvix is worth it with the current worthwhile lamb prices.
@TheSheepGame
@TheSheepGame 3 года назад
Cheers Wendy. Yeah the bottle needs a wee tweak. I think it's worth it regardless just to prevent resistance as we don't want to end up like Norway where you have to get everything through a vet.
@wendyrowland7787
@wendyrowland7787 3 года назад
The Sheep Game and like you said, you know when the seasonal challenges are. I bet the Norwegian vets insist on doing a worm count before dispensing wormers and I bet the mark up is high.I lived in Norway a long time ago and sheep meat was scarce. You could get ‘meat dough’ from the grocer made up of all sorts of meat to make meat balls which perhaps included mutton and even horse. I digress, actually there is nothing wrong with horse meat we ate plenty during the war.

It's interesting this kind of thing to me. I don't know much about worming treatment because my shearer doses my little flock when he comes. If I need any otherwise I get it from my vet because it's expensive to buy for a small flock. As my flock gets a bit bigger I'm considering getting some so I can dose myself but it's so hard to know what to get.

@TheSheepGame

Hi Josh, in all honesty i wouldn’t use anything other than the FX now. I bought a horner when i first started and the one thing i say to boys getting started now is: Shearing is hard enough without using equipment that isn’t the best. That includes jeans. I started with beyuan jeans and cheaper combs. For all the difference in price it’s very much worth the extra investment to buy Heiniger. An FX will cost £375. That’s two days shearing maybe 3 for a learner. It’s nothing and it will last you 10 - 20,000 sheep and even more if ur not too fussy about the odd rattle. 😁

Thanks John. My vet was telling me there is starting to be a lot more resistance to Dectomax and they are worried because they need to to kill scab. Cases are rare but i think it’s another one that could cause us issues in the future. (The scab coverage is another great thing about using dectomax though). I shore all my cheviot mule lambs. Think i have some video footage pending. I was too late getting to the texels but next year i’ll be shearing everything in August including doing the ewes again. They have too much regrowth from Early june shearing.
@johngilbert5430

Cant find Zolvix in the US..but in four years I’ve never had sheep get worms. I move them to new pasture every three days. My problem using spray is that there is no convincing lunatic “organic fiber’ buyers that this is not considered a ‘pesticide’ and completely washes out! But in the US we have to disclose every medication and treatment even baby inoculations!

Hi Mary. I don’t worm dose my ewes at all. Adult sheep are immune to worms but they can effect the pre - lambing if they get lean or are carrying multiple lambs.

Should the zolvix be saved until a last resort so we slow a resistance to it ? Because it’s only killing the worms resistant to other drenchs in the lamb and not ones that would already exist on the field. Try drench and then keep stock in yard or back to same pasture so resistant worms either breed with none resistant (refugia) or can not survive on concrete or bare soil. Drench program is key and a good grazing rotation relevant to the worms life cycle in your area

Yes Zolvix would be the last drench. We have learnt a lot about worms and drenching in the past year and are keen to be doing our best to avoid resistance and testing dung samples often so that we are only drenching when needed and with the right product at the time. Its interesting stuff and great to have facts and things to monitor to do it right.

@@TheSheepGame Sounds like a good start plan 👍 we try to drench only slimmer ewes with worm issues but obviously as you say lambs are affected more as they haven’t developed the ability to resist worms love the channel especially the shearing

I have been using Zolvix Plus for a couple of years and it is a great product. Here in Oz the withholding is 14 days and the ESi is 84 days. I am surprised it is different in the UK.

Wouldn’t it be better to do dung samples first to see what the problem is in terms of worm burden, then dose accordingly. Save time and more importantly money on dose.

I like you're channel, but you're breeding resistant worms, instead of worm resistant sheep by worming. Now think about it, if worming worked, you'd do it once and done. The truth is it does'nt work. Yet commercial farmers don't think and continue with these poor practices. Perpetuation of worms is not the solution.
@TheSheepGame
@TheSheepGame 3 года назад
Hi Roe, interesting comment. I know some lambs are more resistant than others but not sure any are fully resistant. I’m going to try targeted treatment next year of the lambs that appear to need it rather than blanket treatment. Always trying to improve 👍

@@TheSheepGame Thanks for the reply. Sorry to sound harsh. I know it's tough dealing with parasites and a problem we've inherited. I don't think sheep with heavy parasite burden should be bred. Their progeny will give us more of this problem. Breeding resistant sheep should be the aim of our industry. Targeted treatment will be good 👍
