In all types of stocks:
 Young and adult animals with poor condition in the absence of inter current disease.
 Pregnant animal and at tupping time.
 Cow producing milk for human consumption.
 Fasicur plus can be use at the same time as treatment as other conditions or animals are being vaccinated.

Note: Occasionally, some animals may suffer slight softening of the faeces after treatment with Fasicur plus. This rarely lasts longer than 24-36 hours and such animal will show the some improvement after dosing as the remainder.
Some cow and buffalo particularly high yielders; may occasional show reduce of milk 5% or more for 48 hours after dosing. But this is normally more than made up in subsequent performance improvement.
Cattle, buffalo, sheep and goat should not be slaughter for human consumption in the 14 days after dosing.
Milk from lactating animals taken in 24 hours immediately following treatment should not use for human consumption.

WHEN TO DOSE
Fasicur plus is intended to be used:-
1. At all times of the year when treatment for both liver flukes and roundworms is necessary.
2. For all bought animals in stock.
3. In the summer, when simultaneous control of roundworms and removal of tapeworms segments is required.

DOSING PROGRAMMES
Low to moderate levels of worm infection without any outward signs of infection can lead to serious losses of production. It is therefore important to plan a dosing program on a herd or flock basis, not to wait until outbreaks of worm disease occur on the farm. Such a program should be related to management systems and the major danger periods of worm infection. The following recommendations are based on trials carried out on U.K. Farms to determine the best time of year to dose animals in terms of improved production-weight gains, breeding performance etc.

In heavy fluke areas routine dosing with Fasicur plus is recommended form December to March when animals do not usually need treatment for roundworms. To get the best result from your wormer, it is important that you read the following notes.

SHEEP AND GOAT
No. Season When to dose Benefits
1

Before lambing

Dose ewes 2-8 weeks before lambing

Improved nursing percentage and weaning weight.

2

After lambing

Dose ewes, if pre lambing treatment has not been given.

Reduces contamination of pasture with worm eggs.

3

Weaning and after
Dose lambs at weaning and move to clean pasture is not available, monthly dosing until marketing may be necessary.
Better growth rates.

4
Autumn

Dose fattening lambs. Dose all bought in sheep before putting with flock .Dose ewes 4-6 weeks before tupping.
Dose housed sheep, 2 weeks after housing.
Out-wintered-Dose in late.

Reduces chances of introducing fresh infection on to the farm.
Better weight gains through the winter.
Better growth through the winter.

5
Winter
Hill sheep
Autumn or early winter. In bye wintered-November dosing is preferable to January dosing. Sway wintered Dose before moving away.
Better growth through the winter.

Cow, Buffalo- All growing beef and dairy cow
No. Season When to dose Benefits
1

Winter/spring

Early spring

Remove residual fluke burden and makes good start to roundworm control programme.

2

Summer

June/July

When roundworm and tapeworm control is required in calves.

3 Autumn In wintered
At housing
Out wintered
October/November Better weight gains through housing period.
Completes worm control programme. Starts fluke programme.

Adult dairy cow, buffalo:
It is well established that where there is any suspicion of fluke infection in dairy cows, dosing with Fasicur plus at housing and six weeks later can improve milk yield and quality. There is now evidence to show that routine worm treatments can also significantly increase milk yields, with best result, achieved just before or after calving. Where worm and a fluke infection is suspected, Fasicur plus is the product of choice.
