State Outlooks for February 2019
If you’re in an area where second summer drenches are on the agenda —should they be just a matter of routine? If you have had adverse weather conditions this year, should you worm egg count first? If you do decide to worm egg count before you drench, also, if fluke is in your region, request a liver fluke test. Moisture conditions in some regions are becoming increasingly favourable for increases in Haemonchus burdens and fly populations—lice may also be a worry.
