• When used as recommended, Sheepguard SE prevents reinfection with H. contortus worms for at least 14 days and pasture contamination by H. contortus eggs for at least 30 days after single treatment. It also prevents re-infection by Teladorsagia sp. worms for at least 14 days and pasture contamination by Teladorsagia sp. eggs for at least 35 days after a single treatment. It is effective against benzimidazole and levamisole resistant strains of H. contortus, T. colubriformis and T. circumcincta. It has shown efficacy against a number of ivermectin resistant strains of

H. contortus and Teladorsagia sp. However, as Sheepguard shares similar mechanism of action to the avermectins, it should not be used where avermectin resistance is present, except where specifically recommended by an advisor.
