Dawbuts is looking forward to attending the International Sheep Vets Conference, 27-31 October 2025, at Novotel North Beach, Wollongong, NSW.
Note that this conference also caters to goat medicine, with an expanding number of camelid vets attending.
These have been fantastic conferences in the past, but like the Olympic Games, only held every 4 years. This will be the first one on Australian soil for 28 years.

Livestock producers, advisors, vets- have your say! What do you want in diagnostic tests????

🐮 🐑 🐐 Producers and veterinarians who are over 18 years old and involved in the Australian red meat industry (cattle, sheep and/or goats) are invited to participate in the survey.

It is anonymous and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. At the conclusion of the survey, there is an opportunity to enter a prize draw.

The online survey and participant information can be accessed here 👉 https://bit.ly/3whCQP0

It is currently live and at this stage will close at the end of June 2024

The aim of the survey is to understand what red meat producers and veterinarians require from on-farm diagnostic tests. It asks questions to (a) compare current use of point of care and laboratory based tests and (b) identify ideal test designs in terms of utility and accessibility.

Phalaris toxicity can hit suddenly in this weather...,

Attention farmers! Beware of Phalaris sudden death striking your pastures! 😱

Phalaris, while a valuable pasture species, can pose serious risks to your livestock.

Whether it's the cardiac sudden death syndrome or the PE-like sudden death, the consequences can be devastating. Animals may exhibit difficulty breathing, bluish discoloration, or sudden neurological signs, leading to rapid death.

If you suspect Phalaris sudden death, act fast! Move affected animals off the pasture calmly and promptly to prevent further losses.

For more details on Phalaris sudden death or Phalaris staggers, visit 👉 https://bit.ly/3y2bIDV

ParaBoss is coming soon to Katherine! Sign up your team in the link below.

🐮 NT cattle producers - how effective are your treatments for buffalo fly, cattle tick, and worms? Are you impacted by production losses from these parasites in your cattle? Have you got resistance in any of your parasites to your chemical choices?

With the ParaBoss one-day workshop, northern cattle producers can now get better outcomes in all facets of parasite management. This pilot workshop will be held at Katherine on Wednesday 22 May 2024.

Buffalo fly and cattle tick are particularly problematic at present, and this workshop covers these important parasites in detail and allows workshop attendees to consider their control activities within the context of the complete suite of parasites local to their area.

How do you learn about livestock parasites? Play The Worm Game! You'll also find out how to stop drench resistance. Or, from the worm's perspective, how to stay alive and breed!

Lauren is a whipworm, Tara is a black scour worm, Matt is a barber's pole worm.

You can see Tara is winning because her worms have the most resistance pegs. But Matt's worms both made it to the abomasum first, where they fell in love and made babies (eggs). It's a shame that the next drench wiped them out...., obviously not enough resistance genes.

This one is now on its way to South Australia.
