Facial eczema doesn't just affect your animals; it affects your bottom line. Join us before the FE season gets underway to learn practical strategies that can help minimise losses, maximise stock performance, and keep more profit on-farm.
Learn how to carry out simple on-farm autopsies to identify what's limiting performance, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed management decisions and address issues earlier.
Topics covered Understanding Facial Eczema, its causes, impacts, and warning signs in both cattle and sheep. Monitoring and grazing management. Prevention and management tools. Breeding and genetics for FE resistance. Practical on-farm strategies to reduce FE risk. Using an on-farm autopsy as a diagnostic tool. Recognising pneumonia, pleurisy, Johne's disease, parasites, and other common health issues.
This event is in collaboration with DairyNZ.
