Bionic ban a bellwether as resistance spreads https://t.co/ppB6NHzS0s via @FarmersWeeklyNZ

@AuntThistledown We often hear that the shedding/no wool breeds are more resistant and/or resilient to parasites. It would be interesting to see some data on this. And is it different for Barber's Pole worm (which sucks blood)?

[WormwiseNZ @WormwiseNZ]

@AuntThistledown That said, where grazing swaps, the forage type or the type of sheep reduce the risk of parasitism, 28 day drenching is often not necessary.

[WormwiseNZ @WormwiseNZ]

@AuntThistledown Hi Nicola :-) The danger of soundbites! In general, where lambs are being grazed on contaminated sheep pasture after weaning, they will need some amount of regular drenching to prevent a large buildup on worm larvae on the area in autumn.

Bionic Capsules banned from use until further notice. If you have these on farm you can hold them in the hope that the ban will be lifted, or return them to the supplier. Check out https://t.co/JLsAbUSECW for Wormwise advice.

The purpose of any worm management programme is to maintain or improve profitability by reducing the exposure, especially of young animals to worms, by limiting the number of infective larvae on pasture.

Before reaching for the drench gun, ask yourself:

❖ Do you know the level of worm burden in the animals you're intending to drench?
❖ Is your drench is effective?
❖ Are you using the most appropriate product?
❖ Have you considered the risks of drenching?
