If the pack size of a worming product holds less than required, leave one or two fit animals undosed: NEVER underdose the whole group #avoidwormerresistance

Advice from #SCOPS and @COWSworms, Farmers urged to test for liver fluke in an autumn and winter that could be ‘very different’ to recent years.
Best approach still ‘test, don’t guess’

Using a targeted selective treatment approach to anthelmintic prescriptions through use of faecal egg counting and weighing has been a game changer for our customers, with test results available in 30 minutes or less. @BimedaUK @MicronAgritech @AMTRA_RAMA

Welcome to the world 🐮 Lovely new bull calf born this afternoon with the same face markings as his mother!
Born less than 30 minutes ago and already up sucking! The cow has him licked clean at this stage - this helps to stimulate the calf and creates an immediate natural bond between both animals #sucklers #autumncalving

A real full circle moment! 6 years since graduating from college, I now teach a part-time module with a group of final year design innovation students at @MaynoothUni. In groups, this semester they have been tasked to address some key challenges that livestock farmers face 🐷🐴🐔🐮
The objective is to develop a new product or service, supported by their research, which serves as a solution to this identified issue or need with a focus on work life balance, viability, animal health, welfare and sustainability!
Looking forward to seeing the various new concepts they come up with over the next few months 💭 #designforfarmers #agriculturalinnovation
