There is no point in dosing for fluke if cows are still outside grazing, or if you had cows in and let them out to clean off a paddock. The message is: wait until the cows are dry and housed before dosing. Also, a lot of farmers are under-dosing for the weight of animals.
Use the right syringe, fill it properly – excluding air – and deliver it all to the cow. Remember: delivering only 50ml of a 60ml syringe could leave the cow 20% short of the required volume. Know the weight of your animal and dose according to the instructions for weight, depending on what product you are using.
