Remember to test for fluke before you treat! ⚠️🐑

There are two test options for fluke; a faecal egg count or a blood test (copro-antigen ELISA).

The blood test can detect fluke presence up to 3 weeks before the faecal egg count test.

This time of the year liver fluke infection is more common, so it is important to know your flock/herd prevalence.

Liver damage develops due to a liver fluke infection and can result in...
🔸 Weight loss
🔸 Anaemia
🔸 Bottle jaw (swelling under the jaw)
🔸 Ascites (fluid in the abdomen)

Please give us a call if you have any questions 📲

Thank you very much to Sarah Tomlinson (TBAS) and Charlie Bradshaw (APHA) for their very informative talks on TB management and risk reduction!

Also, thank you to Hopes Auction, The Cumbria Farmer Network and FCN. We would not have been able to run the meeting without their support!

We hope everyone managed to take some interesting and useful take-home-points back with them.

Book your pre-lambing bloods now! 🐑

Carry out pre-lambing bloods to ensure you are feeding your ewes correctly for a successful lambing time!

They check the nutritional and health status of your ewes in late pregnancy, which has a direct impact on:
🔹 Colostrum quality
🔹 Milk yield
🔹 Birth weights
🔹 Lamb vigour

Getting the nutrition right can also help to reduce neonatal diseases, as well as reduce condition loss and health issues in ewes.

Last Friday, Jen, our Business Operations Lead, went to Eden Valley Hospice to present £170 to the Pets as Therapy Team 🐶

On the day they were represented by Geoff Smith and Baxter, regular visitors to patients in the Hospice.

The money was raised over the festive period, where we held a photoshoot for clients and their pets with 'Santa Paws', as well as taking part in the 'Wear Something Festive Week' just before Christmas.
