While that approach is largely correct, it can lead to some parasites being missed and may also … Read more
Across Australia, internal parasite control in both sheep and cattle is changing. The shift toward triple-active (“3-way”) drenches is not driven by marketing or fashion, but by necessity. On many properties, single- and dual-active drenches no longer provide reliable or predictable control. Anthelmintic resistance is now well established in sheep parasites and is increasingly recognised … Read more
Across many Australian sheep-producing regions, autumn marks a period when internal parasite burdens can begin to build. After months of warm conditions and grazing pressure, worm populations on pasture may reach levels where they begin to affect flock performance. Internal parasites are a constant challenge in grazing systems. Their impact is not always immediately visible, … Read more
Internal parasites are a common challenge in grazing systems, particularly as seasonal conditions change. Worm burdens often build gradually, meaning the early signs can be subtle and easy to overlook. Recognising potential parasite problems early can help producers respond quickly and minimise the impact on flock performance. Monitoring flock healthBecause parasite challenges can develop over … Read more
Seasonal conditions play a major role in the development of internal parasites in grazing livestock. For many sheep producers, autumn represents a period when worm burdens can begin to increase after several months of exposure on pasture. Understanding why parasite pressure often rises during this time can help producers make more informed decisions about monitoring … Read more
