Parasite control guide

The AHDB parasite control guide is a simple, reliable reference that lists parasite treatments available for cattle and sheep.

The guide brings together all available parasiticide products in their various chemical groups and summarises the parasites they have been licensed to treat.

Using medicines responsibly means using them only when necessary and ideally supported by a diagnosis or a risk assessment.

Choosing the right product helps livestock perform well at the lowest cost while reducing the risk of drug resistance.

Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before using any product to make sure it’s given correctly.

Treatment options include pour-ons, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, boluses, oral drenches and combination products.

The parasite control guide includes product tables for parasite treatment in cattle and sheep.

This includes information such as form of administration, active chemicals, the life stage of parasite controlled and withdrawal periods.
