Q takeaways from our Parasitology Session: - Perceived vs actual liver fluke risk areas v different - rotational grazing no better for parasite control than set stocking - extensive farms do have parasite challenges - leader follower better for parasites + production

Ireland is going through a housing crisis Mostly because we can't build Our government prioritise the needs of Geese and Bats and eyesores far above progress I thought it would be fun to share examples. (reply with more) First up: The Geese 🪿

Posted here a while back - resistance to 1-BZ (somewhat expected); 3-IVER and surprisingly 4-AD (used just once before for quarantine). Did retest and 100% efficacy, TG. Culprit = a half working dosing gun 🤦‍♂️ Check your equipment every time you drench…

Our paper has been published! Validation of @TheCotterCrate's SmartWorm app on NZ sheep farms. The app reduced wormer use by 37–57 % compared with Blanket dosing, with no diff in ADG! Nice to officially become an et al. 😉 Paper is open access - lnkd.in/ezUVS6wT

Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD visited our stand at @NPAIE last week in the @Entirl Innovation Arena. 22% decline in ewe numbers since 2022. Urgent need for gov to support sheep farmers to adopt labour saving tech. Critical issue for generational renewal and attracting young people.
