Facial Eczema (FE) has been identified in the Top of the South. With spore counts lifting seasonally and production being affected it’s time for us to face up to Facial Eczema. After a successful workshop in Tasman we are pleased to bring this opportunity to Marlborough farmers. 

You will hear from vets, farmers and scientists about their experiences and journeys of tackling facial eczema with plenty of opportunity for Q&A. 

If you’re keen to grow your understanding of Facial Eczema then this is the workshop for you. 

Lunch provided with the generous sponsorship from Rabobank Blenheim.

Topics

This interactive 4 1/2-hour workshop will be broken into bite size pieces covering:  

  • Facial Eczema 101 – what is it, how is it caused, signs, symptoms and spores. 
  • Tools in the toolbox what do farmers currently have to mitigate the risk of Facial Eczema in their sheep and cattle?  
  • FE research – why we want your sheep poo.
