It is more efficient to put weight on cows when they are milking than when they are dry, and it’s easier to put it on with higher quality feed. So now is a great time to set them up to be in good condition for calving.

Vet Jackie addresses some of the common questions about weight here:

Facial eczema season is here. The only way you can know how extensive the problem is on your land this year is by getting a spore count. Bring in samples from your farm to us for testing!

When collecting samples:

1️⃣ Select four paddocks with different characteristics (e.g. hill, flat, north-facing, and hedge). Sampling from paddocks ahead of where your herd is on the grazing rotation is the best way to assess spore risks.

2️⃣ Walk diagonally across the paddocks and cut a small amount of grass at grazing height every few steps (at least four spots in each paddock). It’s best to cut the grass at a height of 1cm from the ground using scissors or a knife, don’t rip the grass up by hand! Avoid shaded or overly irrigated areas – try to get a good representative sample of the paddock.

3️⃣ Put the grass in a bag and label it with the paddock number and farm name. The sample needs to weigh at least 60g (e.g. one bread bag full).

4️⃣ Deliver to our clinic for testing within 24 hours. If you have to hold samples overnight, keep them refrigerated.

The best way to prevent facial eczema (FE) is with zinc. Zinc binds with the mycotoxins to form a stable compound which no longer affects cows.

Keeping an eye on FE spore counts allows us to anticipate when we should recommend starting zinc prevention. Have a chat to us about getting some grass samples tested to see what spore levels are like on your farm.

Discover more about FE spores and zinc supplement options here:
