🚨 Spore Counts on the Rise – spore counts have exceeded 140,000 in the region! 🚨

Recent testing has shown that spore counts have exceeded 140,000 in the region, meaning the risk of facial eczema is now very high. This can have serious impacts on your livestock, including liver damage, reduced production, and even death.

✅ What can you do?
🔹 Start or maintain zinc supplementation – through water, drench, or boluses.
🔹 Avoid grazing low pasture, where spores are concentrated.
🔹 Keep an eye out for signs like weight loss, skin irritation, and photosensitivity.
🔹 Contact us if you need advice on prevention or treatment options.

💡 Prevention is key! If you need help managing facial eczema risk, give us a call. 📞

🚨 Facial Eczema Alert for Gisborne Sheep Farmers 🚨🐑

Spore Counts 22nd Feb 2025 from our monitor sites below 👇

Facial eczema (FE) is a serious threat in warm, humid conditions! It’s caused by a toxin-producing fungus in pasture, leading to liver damage and painful skin issues. Keep an eye on spore counts:

✅ Below 10,000 – Low risk
⚠️ 20,000–40,000 – Rising danger
🔴 Over 100,000 – Extreme risk!

Prevention and monitoring is key! Monitor spore levels, provide zinc supplements, and manage pasture carefully. Watch for signs like peeling skin, weight loss, and restlessness.

🚨 Protect Your Dog from Parvo – Act Now! 🚨
Help us keep Gisborne’s dogs safe—share this message with fellow pet owners! 🐾

Parvovirus is a deadly disease that can spread fast, with unvaccinated dogs being at serious risk! This highly contagious virus attacks a dog’s gut and immune system, causing severe vomiting, diarrhoea, and dehydration. It can be fatal—especially for puppies.

💉 The good news? Parvo is preventable with vaccination!

If your dog hasn’t been vaccinated or is due for a booster, book an appointment with your vet now. It could save their life.

🐶 Who needs the vaccine?

✔️ Puppies (starting at 6–8 weeks, with boosters)

✔️ Adult dogs who haven’t been vaccinated or need a booster

✔️ Any dog at risk of exposure

📍 Contact your local vet now to protect your pup and stop the spread!

"Check out Henry (🐔) from Kōtare Station, expertly handling the last of six young c**ts we gelded today! 🐴✨

It’s always a pleasure working with such incredible horses and skilled horse people like Henry and Sofie. This young c**t has plenty of attitude, but with calm and gentle handling before, during, and after gelding, he’s set up for a future of confidence and trust around people. "
