Knowing when to test your flock is key to a successful worm control program.

Here are our suggestions for properties within the Victorian winter rainfall region:

• 4-6 weeks following a rain event that has resulted in green pick.

• 7-10 days prior to mustering sheep for a management event (weaning, pregnancy scanning, joining, pre-lambing, etc).

• Prior to your second summer drench.

• If you suspect you have a worm problem- test! Worms may, or may not be, the culprit.

• If your property has a problem with barber’s pole worm- conduct regular tests throughout the warmer months.

• Regularly test weaners, especially after rain events.

Give us a call- we can help you determine future dates for testing.
