Listen "Vet lab submissions "
Episode Synopsis
For this week’s OviCast, we’re joined by Seamus Fagan from the Department of Agriculture’s regional veterinary lab in Athlone. As a follow-on from his talk at the recent Sheep Conference, we discuss the importance of records to highlight flock health issues on farm and to help provide a better flock history, particularly in the case of abortion. We discuss the submission process and the timeline for results. We also discuss some of the challenges seen in the lab this spring with a notable fluke challenge present on farms. Finally we finish up discussing some of the findings from the ongoing thin ewe survey.
