=== Control of Ostertagiosis (and Trichostrongylosis) ===
'''Clean Pasture'''
*Source of infection; ewes only
**Dose ewes around lambing
**Turn ewes and lambs out onto clean grazing
'''Contaminated Pasture'''
*Source of infection; ewes and lambs
**Dose ewes around lambing (BUT won't prevent reinfection; use medicated feed blocks or intra-ruminal boluses)
**Dose lambs at weaning and move to clean grazing
'''NOTE''': If '''no''' alternative grazing available = dose lambs at weaning and repeat on two or three occasions at monthly intervals
