Sheep Health and Nutrition
Wormers, flukicides, dip, vaccines, boluses and everything the lambing shed needs — over the counter at Ayr, Kinross, Lanark & Stirling, with a qualified SQP behind every one of them.
Over the Counter, Without a Vet Visit
Almost everything on this page is POM-VPS — prescription-only medicine that a Suitably Qualified Person can prescribe and sell. You describe the job, they work out what is right for it, and you walk out with it. No appointment and no call-out.
There is a qualified SQP in every one of the four stores, and all eight field representatives are SQPs, so the same conversation happens at your own gate in the weeks when you cannot get off the farm.
Where it stops. Antibiotics and anything else classed POM-V are your vet's decision. An SQP will say so rather than sell you the nearest thing on the shelf.
What Comes Up, and When
A sheep year runs to a tighter calendar than a cattle one, and the counter follows it almost to the week. These are the four points when the queue forms.
Tupping
Condition scoring, trace elements and the fluke decision before the ewes go to the tup. Rams get their own check.
Pre-Lambing
Scanning results turn into feeding. Clostridial boosters timed to pass cover to the lamb, and the shed stocked before the first one arrives.
Lambing
Colostrum, stomach tubes, navel dressing, lamb boost for a slow starter, and twin lamb for a ewe going the wrong way.
Turnout to Weaning
Worm counts on the lambs, blowfly cover before the first strike, and the minerals that carry growth through the summer.
Worming and Fluke
Which group, and when, is the most consequential decision on this page — and the one most worth counting first.
Sheep wormers are sorted into groups by how they work, and the group matters more than the brand. Rotating blindly does not prevent resistance; using the right group at the right time, and knowing whether it worked, does.
| Group | Colour | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 1-BZ | White | Benzimidazole |
| 2-LV | Yellow | Levamisole |
| 3-ML | Clear | Macrocyclic lactone |
| 4-AD | Orange | Amino-acetonitrile derivative |
| 5-SI | Purple | Spiroindole |
Groups and colours are as SCOPS sets them out. Which one belongs on your farm this season depends on your own resistance picture, so it is a conversation with an SQP rather than a rule of thumb.
Fluke and Combinations
Fluke risk moves with the season and the field, and a wet autumn changes it completely. A combination saves a handling where both jobs need doing — and wastes a treatment where only one does.
Count first, and count again after. We run worm and fluke egg counts in store — at Kinross and at Ayr, usually the same day. The second count is the one that tells you whether the drench is still working on your farm.
Dip and Pour-Ons
Blowfly is the one that turns from nothing to an emergency in a warm week. Ticks and scab run to their own calendar. Dipping does jobs a pour-on cannot, and the other way round.
Dip is not an over-the-counter decision on its own. Certification, disposal and the ground it runs onto all come into it. Ask before you buy and we will go through what you need in place.
Lambing
Colostrum, ewe support and the slow starter. The shed wants stocking in January, not in the small hours of the night you need it.
Clostridial vaccine given to the ewe at the right point before lambing is what protects the lamb in its first weeks, so the timing is the product. After that it is colostrum, warmth and a clean navel, in that order.
The Lambing Cupboard
Every one of these is easier to have and not need than to need at three in the morning.
How much colostrum, how soon and by what route depends on the lamb in front of you — and tubing wrongly puts it in the lung. Ask an SQP or your vet to show you once, before lambing starts, rather than reading it off a screen at the time.
Trace Elements
Cobalt, selenium and iodine are the three that go short on Scottish sheep ground, and they show up as lambs that will not thrive rather than as anything you can point at.
Copper is different in sheep. Sheep are far less tolerant of it than cattle, and some breeds less again. That is why the Optigain range is sold both with and without. If you are already feeding a mineral, bring the bag label to the counter before adding anything containing copper.
Sheep Questions
Do I need a vet to buy sheep wormer in Scotland?
No. Sheep wormers and flukicides are POM-VPS, which a Suitably Qualified Person can prescribe and sell. There is a qualified SQP in every McCaskie store at Ayr, Kinross, Lanark & Stirling, and all eight field representatives are SQPs. Antibiotics still need your vet.
What are the sheep wormer groups?
1-BZ white, benzimidazole. 2-LV yellow, levamisole. 3-ML clear, macrocyclic lactone. 4-AD orange, amino-acetonitrile derivative. 5-SI purple, spiroindole. The group matters more than the brand name, and which one suits your farm depends on your own resistance picture.
Can you do a worm egg count on my sheep?
Yes. Bring a fresh dung sample to Kinross or Ayr and we run the count in store, usually the same day. A second count after treating tells you whether the drench still works on your farm.
Can sheep have the same mineral bucket as cattle?
No. Sheep are far less tolerant of copper than cattle and some breeds less again, which is why sheep minerals are sold both with and without it. Bring your current mineral bag label to the counter before adding anything containing copper.
When should ewes get their clostridial booster before lambing?
The timing is what passes protection to the lamb through the colostrum, so it is set against your lambing date rather than a fixed week. Ask an SQP to work it back with you from scanning.
Where can I buy sheep dip in central Scotland?
From any of the four McCaskie country stores. Dip involves certification, disposal and where the water goes, so ring 01786 474 481 or ask at the counter first and we will go through what you need in place.
Ask at any of the four stores — Ayr, Kinross, Lanark & Stirling — or ring 01786 474 481. There is a qualified SQP in every store.

Sheep Vaccines
-
![A 500ml bottle of Heptavac P plus vaccine for sheep enclosed in a box, both branded with MSD Animal Health.]()
Heptavac P Plus
The economic impact of losses due to pasteurellosis and clostridial diseases can be devastating. Lamb deaths are only part of the loss. Even surviving lambs are liable to suffer long term losses in condition and weight. While they may look perfectly well, unseen damage to the lungs is common after pneumonia strikes and only becomes apparent when reduced performance leads to later or fewer finished lambs.
Heptavac P Plus is used for the active immunisation of sheep as an aid in the control of clostridial diseases and pasteurellosis in sheep. Heptavac P Plus contains antigens from six clostridial species and antigens from the most important serotypes of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella trehalosi.
-
![Two boxes of Ovivac P Plus veterinary medication, one 500ml and one 100ml, with green and white packaging, indicating it is a suspension for injection used for immunization of sheep.]()
Ovivac P+
Vaccinating ewes with Heptavac P Plus initially helps protect their lambs via the colostrum. However, this passive immunity wanes, leaving lambs unprotected. To immunise growing and store lambs after this period, two 2 ml doses of Ovivac P Plus, 4 to 6 weeks apart, are required. The course can be started from as early as three weeks of age.
Ovivac P Plus contains antigens from four clostridial species and antigens from the most important serotypes of Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella trehalosi.

Coxicert Oral Suspension
Coccidiosis is a costly disease impacting on lamb and calf performance.
Coccidiosis is a disease of the intestinal tract caused by a microscopic parasite from the family Eimeria spp – the eggs are ingested, invade cells in the gut lining and multiply, eventually causing the cells to burst. When this happens, more eggs are released – some invade cells as before and some are excreted in dung.
The latter contaminate the environment, presenting a source of infection to other animals. Contaminated water, the skin of dam’s udders and feed troughs are common routes for the spread of coccidiosis.
There are 20 different species of coccidia in cattle and sheep, not all species of coccidia are pathogenic:
In lambs:
Only two are known to cause disease:
• Eimeria ovinoidalis.
• Eimeria crandalis.
In calves:
Three cause disease:
• Eimeria zuernii.
• Eimeria bovis.
• Eimeria alabamensis.
Coccidiosis in Lambs
In general, lambs are most at risk from 4-8 weeks of age. Treat with a single dose of Coxicert® at about 4- 6 weeks at the time the coccidiosis can normally be expected on farm.Under conditions of high infection pressure, a second treatment may be indicated about 3 weeks after the first dosing.
Signs of clinical disease:
• Straining.
• Weakness.
• Anaemia.
• Dehydration.
Signs of subclinical disease:
• Reduced weight gain.
• Poor appetite.
Coccidiosis in Calves
Calves are most at risk from 3 weeks – 6 months of age. Treat with a single dose of Coxicert®14 days after moving into a potentially high risk environment, or 7 days in advance of expected symptoms.
Coxicert® prevents coccidiosis by killing parasites already in the gut and reducing environmental contamination by limiting oocyst excretion.
Treats lambs and calves and helps to prevent further contamination of the environment.
A single oral dose – easy to administer.
No meat withdrawal.

Bravoxin 10
Bravoxin is a multivalent vaccine for cattle and sheep to provide immunisation against ten clostridial species which cause the following common diseases in livestock: Enterotoxaemia, Lamb Dysentery, Struck, Pulpy kidney, Braxy, Tetanus, Black Disease, Blackleg, Metritis, Bacterial Redwater, Abomasitis, and Malignant Oedema.
Dectomax™ Injection
Dectomax™ Injection for cattle delivers broad spectrum cover for stomach, gut and lungworm, whilst treating sucking lice and mange mites (sarcoptic and psoroptic mange). It is administered as a subcutaneous injection and has persistency against
Cooperia oncophora (21 days)
Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) (35 days)
Ostertagia ostertagi (35 days)
To obtain optimal benefits from Dectomax™ Solution for Injection, it is recommended that cattle should be treated at turnout and eight weeks later. Studies1 have demonstrated that, used in this way, Dectomax™ will reduce the build-up of infective larvae on pasture and can protect animals from parasitic gastro-enteritis and parasitic bronchitis throughout the grazing season. To obtain these results, all animals must be included in the programme and untreated cattle must not be introduced on the pasture. Treatment with Dectomax™ at turn-out and eight weeks later of cattle set-stocked for the grazing season can protect against clinical disease caused by lungworm and may allow the development of naturally acquired immunity.
