Knowing when to test your animals 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, preg scanning, joining, pre lambing, etc).

• Prior to your second summer drench- depending on conditions, it may not be necessary.

• 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.

It can get overwhelming- reading this list makes the job seem bigger than it is! Please give us a call so we can help you make it as simple as possible.
