This quick quiz tests your knowledge of sheep and goat parasites and their control.
1. Weaners in southern Australia benefit from prepared low worm-risk paddocks during winter. How could they have been prepared?
2. How could you use a threshold method as a means to indicate when flystrike preventative products should be applied?
3. What should you do if you suspect that lice are resistant to the products you are using?
4. How can smallholder goat owners assess whether goats require a drench against scour worms?
While many regions are experiencing a higher than normal risk of worm infections due to rain, other regions have received only patchy falls. Regular checking of mobs this autumn is important as even good amounts of food on offer may not temper the effects of a worm burden.
