This week we talk to Dr Orla Keane about monitoring the parasite challenge in lambs.
We discuss the challenge stomach worms poses from this point of the season onward with Orla talking about using faecal sampling to monitor worm burden, explaining the process, what’s being tested and what the results mean.
Orla also discusses the thresholds for dosing and the factors that influence the rise in worm counts.
We move on to discuss drench testing to determine dose efficacy and we finish up highlighting best practice around faecal sampling and why it should be used on farms.
