Flexolt

Flexolt is an oral lice treatment for sheep and lambs, offering a novel approach to sheep lice control. It uses fluralaner, an active ingredient that works systemically via oral administration, targeting lice from within. This means it can be used on sheep with any wool length, including unshorn lambs, short wool, long wool, and those off-shears or up to 7 days off-shears.

Key Details and Benefits:

Flexibility: Flex Olt allows for flexible lice control, meaning you can treat sheep when it suits your schedule, regardless of shearing or weather conditions.

Systemic Action: The active ingredient, fluralaner, works systemically from the inside out, targeting lice that are feeding on the skin surface.

No Shearing Required: Unlike many traditional lice treatments, Flexolt doesn't require shearing before treatment, making it a convenient option for long-wooled sheep and those with lambs at foot.

Effective Against Resistance: Flexolt is effective against lice strains that are resistant to other types of lice treatments, including synthetic pyrethroids and insect growth regulators.

Complete Flock Treatment: Flexolt allows you to treat lambs and all other sheep on the property at once, regardless of wool length, minimizing the risk of lice outbreaks.

Weather Independence: Oral lice control with Flexolt is not affected by rain or weather conditions.

Easy Administration: Flexolt is administered orally, making it a simple and convenient treatment option.

No Exposure Issues: Sheep can be treated without cold weather exposure issues common with dipping or jetting.

Safety: Flexolt is safe for use in breeding rams, pregnant and lactating ewes, and ewes at the beginning of joining.
