Sheep & Goat Farmers – Don’t Let Barber’s Pole Worm Take Hold!

Spring is here and so are the Barber’s Pole worms (Haemonchus contortus) – one of the deadliest internal parasites in sheep and goats! 🐑🐐 These blood-sucking worms can cause rapid blood loss, weakness, bottle jaw, and even sudden death if left untreated.

Prevention is better than cure – that’s where Q-DRENCH comes in!

Q-Drench is a broad-spectrum, 4-way combination drench designed to knock down resistant worms and keep your flock healthy and productive.
Perfect for strategic drenching before lambing/kidding, weaning, or during high-risk periods. It is also useful to prevent the introduction of resistant strains to a property.

With so much resistance to single-active drenches, now’s the time to switch to something more effective. Q-Drench gives your animals the best shot at thriving through the season.

We’ve got Q-Drench in stock now! Don’t wait until it's too late – come see us.
