    I like fasinex super we always find it works well and kills both fluke and worms. The product is not the cheapest at 140 euro for a 2.2 litre bottle in my local co-op. I can't understand why the manufacturers can't make the product more palatable for cattle. I find cattle there their best to spit it out and I wouldn't blame them the smell of it is just rotten. Did anyone else notice this. Every time I buy it an the hope it will be changed but no always the same makin a tough job tougher. I don't think I'll continue buyin it. What oral dose would lads recommend using instead don't think anything else kills all stages of fluke as well as all worms:pac:

    I think the wormer part of fasinex super is levamisole. If it is, then it won't kill inhibited oestergia type 2 worms. I would prefer to use ordinary fasinex and a seperate wormer like ivermectin or one of the white doses at housing.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    if you find it good and dont like its taste, head to the local shop and buy a bit of flavouring and mix in with it. I got a couple of ltrs of citrus flavouring recently as guy just asked me to take it as he wanted to empty the drum. Not thinking I tasted it, burned the bloody mouth of me. dumped it into about 3000l of molasses and you wouldnt believe how it sweetened it at such a low dilution rate. Got me thinking could cheap flavourings increase intakes

    Dose plus a drop of molasses in the bottom of a bucket.
    No need whatsoever to stress yourself with dosing gun.
    I stick cattle in the shed. Heads in locking barriers. Concoction in bucket. They lamp it down.
