Glenbrook Romneys – Kaukapakapa

Running our own worm fecal egg counts using the FECPAC kit from Techion Group, we are able to ascertain the worm burden in an individual animal and/or a whole mob within a short space of time.  This has proved to us the vast differences in individual animals that can occur across a mob.  With continued selection for high worm resistance genes, we have been able to dramatically reduce the frequency of drenching.  This has been a time and cost saving and it has also ensured that we don’t have any drench resistance on our farm.
