The May NADIS alert focuses on the timely matter of worm control in young lambs and ewes at grass. Farmers worried about the risk of nematodirus can access the nematodirus risk alert via the NADIS website and at the same time view a webinar explaining the issues it poses and how best to tackle it.
This month’s alert also looks at the risk of Blowfly early in the season, with a risk alert also available for this key condition.
With temperatures expected to rise significantly in the coming days and weeks it is important sheep farmers stay aware of the threat both of these conditions pose to their flocks.
For more information on the current risk status of natodirus and blowfly as well as information on a range of other seasonal conditions see the NADIS website.
