FREE CHRISTMAS HAM!! 🤩

When you purchase a 5L Boss® PO, 7.5L Turbo® PO, 5L Turbo® PO or Turbo® Triple + Tape 20L.

Turbo® PO and Boss® PO covers cattle over 100kg for gastrointestinal worms, lungworm, and biting and sucking lice.

A drench containing Levamisole is best for young cattle under 12 months to target Cooperia oncophora (an internal roundworm that lives in the small intestine), this is most commonly found in this age group and can cause a decrease in growth rates if not treated. Our Boss PO & turbo cattle PO contain this active ingredient, which is why it is highly recommended for farmers with young cattle.

Turbo® Triple Tape covers lambs over 20kg for gastrointestinal worms, lungworm and tapeworm. Turbo® Triple Tape contains eprinomectin in an oral formulation for the first time in sheep.

Drenching animals in their first year of life helps to remove the worms while they are still building immunity against them. Drench resistance is starting to become a big issue within the farming industry. So, using the right drenches and only when it is necessary is key to slowing down drench resistance.

Free hams are only available while stocks last so get in quick!

If you need any advice on drench, stop in and talk to our wonderful reception staff.

Rotavirus Calf Scours ⚠️💩

We are finding a big jump in the number of calves with rotavirus calf scours this month. If your calves are scouring and/or lethargic bring some poo in and get it tested. The quicker a diagnosis is made the quicker treatment can be initiated and the better the outcome.

For any calf health enquires please don't hesitate to talk to your vet.

A massive congratulations to James and Debbie and Dave and Jan Stewart from Stewart Dairylands! A huge achievement, well done! 💙🧡

Congratulations to Hiwinui dairy farmers James & Debbie and Dave & Jan Stewart of Stewart Dairylands who have taken out the Regional Supreme Award at the Horizons Ballance Farm Environment Awards in Palmerston North tonight.

Stewart Dairylands was established in 1999, however five generations of Stewarts have farmed and expanded the legacy business that was started in 1886. Guided by a strong sense of family history, the Stewarts see the land as a precious commodity and therefore focus on creating sustainable systems to leave the land in better shape for the next generation.

Exploring opportunities for diversification is part of the business strategy for the entrepreneurial family, with value streams from dairy beef, as well as supplying milk for both boutique cheese and ice cream. In partnership, they also offer farm tours.

In awarding the Regional Supreme Award, the judges made the observation that on many properties landowners are meeting high standards; but on this property the Stewarts strive to exceed and lead industry standards.

Welcome to our Facial Eczema Spore Count Bulletin for 2024 - this pinned post will be updated each week, so please revisit to see what the spore count is in your area.

For the week ended 26 April 2024, the highest spore count in the Feilding area was 0 and the highest spore count in the Awapuni area was 30,000.

The Facial Eczema Risk rating is LOW for Feilding areas and LOW for Awapuni areas.

Please read our latest bulletin to view individual monitor site counts for within each area: https://totallyvets.co.nz/facial-eczema-risk-bulletin/

For advice on facial eczema prevention see here: https://totallyvets.co.nz/facial-eczema-all-you-need-to-know/

Spore counts can vary greatly between properties and even between paddocks. We encourage farmers to bring in grass samples to get a more accurate idea of the facial eczema risk on their own property. Contact us if you would like more information on bringing in your own samples for testing.
