In this month’s Tech Talk we look at the effective management of this costly parasite. AU-RUM-0037-2025.

Sheep lice continue to be one of the most serious threats to flocks in every sheep-producing region across Australia.

The female louse lays an egg every 2-3 days which will hatch at around 10 days and develop into an adult louse over a period of 35 days. Lice pose a continuous threat and that’s why it’s important to use a treatment that offers long-term control.

Fennec® Pour-On for Sheep, Australia’s first combination for lice and worm control, provides sheep producers a class-leading five weeks of worry-free lice control when applied within 24 hours of shearing. Look for Fennec Pour-On for Sheep at your local rural stockist.
