Lambs over a month of age will be at risk unless they are grazing new pastures or have been wormed very recently
THE current warm, wet weather following the recent cold spell has resulted in a Nematodirus disease outbreak in Wales, according to the Sustainable Control of Parasites in Sheep organisation.
Most lambs over a month of age will be at risk unless they are grazing new pastures or have been wormed very recently.
The recommendation is to treat with a Benzimadazole (white) wormer as soon as possible to avoid what could be significant losses.
