All Sheep and Lamb Discussion / Re: Ringworm
« on: July 21, 2015, 07:23:21 pm »
Lee,

The Enviro-Sep label is owned by Sherwin Williams, the paint company.  Enviro-Sep and Quality Care share the same EPA number.  The EPA won't allow any variations in a products active ingredients to share the same number.  But yes, the active ingredients are identical.

If you follow the link for pesticideinfo.org you can see all of the different names Enviro-Sep is labeled under.  Last time I counted I think I counted about 75 different names.  If you can't find Quality Care in your area, you might be able to find another store brand where you live.

I had a ewe that picked up ringworm at an LAI clinic.  The clinic location had had a huge problem with ringworm the month before the clinic.  She had it over her backbone where she came in contact with the cradle.  I sprayed all four ewes with the QC brand upon arriving back home.  The one ewe that picked up ring worm was sprayed down by my 12 year old daughter who insisted that she could spray the ewe herself.  I was concerned about how thorough she sprayed the ewe but I didn't want to micromanage.

When she lost the wool, I sprayed the patch (2 x 12) on two consecutive days and the wool promptly started to grow back in black.

Meyersshowlambs recommended Enviro-Sep.  If you have a Big Lots store nearby, you can save yourself a lot of money.  Enviro-Sep is sold as Quality Care Antibacterial Spray Disinfectant at Big Lots.  They have different fragrances but the Soft Linen fragrance is the best value at $1.60 for a 12 oz can.  They are identical products sharing the same EPA registration number made by Sherwin-Williams Company.

I did shear her about two weeks prior to the LAI clinic but I used a camelid blade that left heavy stubble and she is penned under constant shade.  She never sunburned and the skin never looked different.  Also, there wasn't any shearing cuts (I like the camelid blade!).

I've never had a sunburn result in black wool regrowth but I've also not had good quality sheep like I do now.  Different genetics perhaps?

I just assumed it was wool fungus because missing wool was in an area that her back would have been touching the cradle.  There has been a big problem with wool fungus where the clinic was held and my ewes were done after 65 other ewes.

Do you need to give a booster shot for ewes that haven't been vaccinated before?  Any idea about how much the vaccines sell for?

We have ewe lamb that started losing the wool in an odd pattern over her back 12" x 2" and one smaller patch.  We had taken her to an LAI clinic about two weeks prior to her wool loss.  It looked like the wool just fell out.  No red, no crusty, no raised spots, just plain normal looking skin.  I sprayed her back with the generic version of Enviro-Sep ($1.60 per can) two times and after about a week her wool started to grow back in.  The new wool is black.  My understanding is that if the wool grows back in black, it was wool fungus.  By the way, I didn't scrape the skin, just used the spray.

If you have a Big Lots store nearby you they carry Enviro-Sep labeled under a different name.  The brand is Quality Care Antibacterial Spray Disinfectant.  It comes is a couple of different fragrances.  The Fresh Linen scent is the best value $1.60 for 12 oz.  The other fragrances are $1.50 for 8 oz.

Both Enviro-Sep and Quality Care carry the same EPA number, meaning that they are identical products.  If you don't have a Big Lots store in your area, check out this link for other labels of the same product.  http://pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Product.jsp?REG_NR=06760300004&DIST_NR=059667
