When is the best time to use a combination fluke & worm product?

Generally, we should avoid using flukicides when they’re not needed and vice versa wormers needn’t be used without necessity. Combination products are good housing treatments (note the age of fluke that is covered as most will leave certain stages behind). Also, they have a use early in a wet summer when warm moist conditions are proliferating and we want to prevent infection of mudsnails on pasture with liver fluke larvae. Cattle may also be receiving a routine worm dose at this point and so a combination product could be used instead.
