Amanda McEvoy joins us to discuss the impact of recent weather conditions on worm burdens in sheep flocks.
Amanda begins by explaining how lambs become infected and how weather influences the development and survival of parasites on pasture.
We discuss how the recent dry spell has affected worm burdens and why changing weather conditions, particularly increased moisture, can quickly alter the risk on farms.
Amanda also highlights the importance of monitoring worm burdens closely at this stage of the season, especially following this summer's weather patterns.
