Worms in Sheep:        

Whether you produce sheep for wool or meat, internal parasites can and do cost your enterprise in lost production, how much depends on your management. Without information you could be tearing up money drenching when it's not needed or miss a worm problem that leads to scouring and lost production as a result.

StockWatch results are represented in eggs per gram and split into the basic roundworm types and include comments on any other parasites observed.  Results are forwarded within 24 hours of arrival at the Lab.

StockWatch Test Options:

Standard Test: Mob average offering simple sample collection, quickly answering if drenching is required or your recent drench has performed. 

Premium Test: Mob average including range of 10 samples, which offers producers more detail to make decisions when the risk of infestation is high.

Liver Fluke Testing: A StockWatch Liver Fluke Test is reported as either Positive or Negative. A positive result indicates the presence of adult liver fluke. If positive, management actions are most likely required.

Individual Samples for Genetic Selection:      50+ animals $3.85/head (less than 50 samples = $5/hd)

Basic Drench Resistance Testing:  It doesn't get simpler. Collect a sample 10 to 14 days after you have drenched to see if the drench you are using is effective or if it's time to rotate your drench.  For the best results send a sample prior to drenching to give you a starting point.
