This quick quiz tests your knowledge of sheep and goat parasites and their control.
1. Why do dual- and multi-active drenches better protect against drench resistance than single-active drenches?
2. How does tail docking reduce the risk of flystrike in lambs?
3. If the most important liver fluke drench is given in April when should the second most important liver fluke drench be given and why?
4. If lice are found in long wool, how would you determine if a long wool treatment is necessary before shearing?
It remains dry over much of the central and northern areas of NSW and into southern Queensland, but there have been showers in temperate regions. Rain, increasing temperatures coming into spring, and young sheep are three good reasons to monitor stock for worms and coccidia and to develop a fly management plan in the run-up to lamb-marking.
