Friendly Flies!

Now that Spring has arrived, it is time to think about those pesky flies on farm before they get established! 🪰

Friendly flies are parasitic wasps – so tiny you can’t even see them and despite being a wasp, they don’t actually sting! We can provide you with friendly fly pupae which can be spread in fly breeding grounds such as around slurry pits or areas where dung builds up. The pupae hatch and eat the nuisance fly larvae preventing the emergence and build-up of nuisance flies! Friendly fly pupae should be spread every 2 weeks over the fly season, and now is the time to get started!

If you would like to order some friendly flies for your farm, or for more information on how to use them, please contact your local farm branch!

With unpacking season approaching, our vets, Hannah & Jenn, have been out collecting blood from donor alpacas for processing. 🦙🩺

Once the blood is collected, it is then spun and separated, in house, to produce 2 bags of plasma per donor.The plasma can then be frozen, ready for unpacking season.
Plasma is key to a successful unpacking season!
It is used to treat crias with 'failure of passive transfer'. Without it, prognosis is guarded.

Thank you to all our cooperative donors - the hero's of the day!🎉🩸

🐮 👋🏻
It’s time to say goodbye..
at the end of the month we say goodbye to our Clinical Director and longest standing member of Calweton’s Farm Department - Stuart. Having worked at Calweton since 1993 you could say we are all used to having him around, but it’s time to hang up the stethoscope, and leave it in our capable hands! 🩺
Make sure to say your goodbyes if you see him and Bing over the next few weeks - we’ll certainly miss him! 👋🏻💔🫡

With calving and lambing kicking off, we are getting behind the Colostrum ls Gold campaign - raising awareness and improving youngstock health through gold standard colostrum management!

Colostrum is vital to a newborn animal as it contains antibodies (AKA lmmunoglobulins or lgG) to provide immunity and it's also rich in essential nutrients to provide energy for growth.

There are 3 Q's when it comes to colostrum management:
Quantity
Quality
Quickly

Why not order some high quality colostrum substitute from us - we are now selling Immucol in either 1kg or 500g bags OR as single 50g doses! Contact your local office to purchase this or to speak to a vet about colostrum management on your farm.

❗️Stock Club Update❗️

Last week we held the second meeting for StockClub - “A Nosy Round a Lambing Shed”.

Attendees enjoyed a look around Trebelsue’s wonderful lambing shed, and heard first hand from Lucy about how she does it!

We also heard interesting discussion points from Miranda, where she focused on joint ill and other lambing related issues, and how navel dipping/spraying impacts disease spread and outcome. She also highlighted our new product NoBacz - an iodine alternative which has shown great results on those farms using it already.

A big thank you to Cowlings @ Trebelsue for hosting and also to those who attended. We look forward to the next meeting!
