FEC results

[Stockwell]

I know this has been done a few times but just double checking.

Lamb FEC results back from the vet, stronglye came back at about 200. I was under the impression that this is low and shouldn’t be drenched for yet. ???? But vet says Drench now with clear Drench.

Many thanks

Seems on the low side to be dosing IMO, depending on clinical signs I wouldn't dose until 400, rightly or wrongly.

Aye, should of said no scouring and lambs doing about 380/grams day, all twins

 

[AvonValleyFarmer]

I'd hold off I think.

Definitely shouldn't be drenching on what you've told us there

surprising there was no nematodirus, time of the year and all that.
Was there no sheep on the land last year

If you're weighing them regularly then you could drench any lambs that are underperforming, say the bottom 20-25% in terms of growth rate.
