🚨 Nematodirus Warning for Orkney Farmers 🚨

Heads up to all sheep farmers across Orkney — conditions are now ideal for a Nematodirus outbreak. With the recent rise in temperatures following a cool spell, hatching is likely to occur rapidly, putting lambs aged 6–12 weeks at high risk of infection.

🔍 What to watch for:

Sudden onset of scouring (diarrhoea)
Lethargy or poor appetite
Unexpected deaths in young lambs

🐛 Speak to us about faecal egg counts and treatment options. Early intervention is key — many cases are fatal if left untreated.

🧐 Be extra vigilant before clinical signs appear, especially if your flock has a history of nematodirosis.

📍 Orkney conditions are matching high-risk patterns reported elsewhere in Scotland, so stay alert.

Please share with other local farmers to help prevent losses this season. 🐑
