This quick quiz tests your knowledge of sheep and goat parasites and their control.
1. Name two benefits of the second summer drench for sheep in temperate winter rainfall regions?
2. Name the three tests that are based on counting worm eggs and their purpose.
3. Name three principles you should consider to manage the development of treatment-resistance in lice.
4. What threshold level of flystrike would you use to determine when to initiate control treatments after a dry period?
Bushfires have continued to rage. Rain has been reasonable in some regions but painfully low in others. Searing temperatures have been predicted for the last few days in January.
Any follow-up rain from storms and signs of green pick should warn producers that ongoing monitoring of mobs for worms and fly over the next couple of months will be imperative.
Flystrike monitoring should increase now, especially in lambs. Check ASKBILL for the FLYSTRIKE RISK MAPS for your area.
Also, conduct worm egg counts from 4 weeks after your first significant falls of rain (>10 mm across a 5-day period). Read this general warning about wet weather and worms.
