@jm2kelley hi, I am a vet in NZ studying liver fluke and would like to catch up September 26-29. I met you in Auckland

Parasite egg hatching rain explained well here #wormwise https://t.co/rgxcU6fEo9

@WormwiseNZ With the right information you can make informed decisions about farming system changes and drenching. Know your drench efficacy status

[Andrew Dowling @AndrewPGW]

4th 2t or ewe larval culture in Gisborne where no barbers pole detected. The power of planned monitoring to use the most effective drench.

[Andrew Dowling @AndrewPGW]

#wormwise trying some refugia management but both the lambs drenched 56 and 28 days ago have zero egg counts grazing Lucerne and grass. A great reminder that some routine monitoring can reveal startling and sometimes confusing results

[Andrew Dowling @AndrewPGW]

Barbers pole worm not enjoying these dry conditions. Continue to drench with triple combination for best worm kill. An effective drench gives a 3 week window without eggs in faeces

[Andrew Dowling @AndrewPGW]

@AgLetterNZ Identify the main diseases that would affect your farm and make a plan to keep them out; bvd, footrot, weed pests, triple drench resistant parasites, infectious calf scours.....

[Andrew Dowling @AndrewPGW]

@pregtester Animals on movement control are not mixed with other livestock. All produce leaving a restricted farm has to be signed off by MPI as are vehicles

Parasite Advisors Day at Massey University. Updates on FECRT techniques, diagnostics.and practical implementation of Wormwise prinsiples

@AmyAmycollins83 @Sheep_365 Are you going to do a drench check in 10 days to make sure it has worked?

[Andrew Dowling @AndrewPGW]

@megz_mcgregor @DairyNZ We need to start being a bit more clever about our spreading of magox. Shortages this year caused a lot of concern

[Andrew Dowling @AndrewPGW]

@TheCountry @deanrabbidge Wool is not necessarily from animals. Unfortunately synthetic products can also be called "wool".

Total fluke count beef cow, 72 and significant bile duct inflammation and fibrosis
