Neil Perkins, Dinas Island Farm, Pembrokeshire purchased a FECPAK in 2006 and as well as using it effectively on sheep he monitors FEC in his young cattle. “For first season grazers we always used a pulse release wormer bolus which was administered at turnout, as this cost us £15.00/ head we decided to change policy and monitor FEC and treat accordingly. In the first year the FEC’s got high enough to dose once in the summer. In the second year there were low burdens present but the monthly FEC counts showed that it was not rising therefore we got away without any wormer to the 60 yearlings until housing” comments Neil. |
