Nematodirosis is a particularly nasty disease in lambs, causing a high number of mortalities and stunting the growth of many others. Nematodirosis can strike very quickly so farmers can’t afford to have a ‘wait and see’ policy.

SCOPs offers their Nematodirus Forecast, which helps sheep producers understand the Nematodirus risk for their area and act accordingly. VetDx facilitiates FEC testing, so sheep producers are aware of their flocks worm load and levels of antimicrobial resistance present. 🐑🐑

The forecast can be used in combination with your grazing history to assess the risk of Nematodirus infection in your lambs.

Have you heard of our SMART tool?

Our SMART tool (Semen Morphology Assisted Recognition Tally) has been designed by vets to make the process of morphology easier and quicker, meaning no more paper tally charts or ambiguity around morphology!

This bespoke software can produce personalised reports which are easily accessed via vet and client portals, ensuring farm confidentiality is maintained through the use of anonymised data and top-level secure data storage.

Our centralised data base also allows vets and farmers to track and identify peak performing animals and their offspring, supporting efforts to improve animal fertility, drive production and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
