Let’s rethink summer lamb management. This shorter workshop explores practical ways to help lambs grow faster by reducing their exposure to worms – not just treating them after the fact.
Topics
- Why do we want lambs to eat fewer worms?
- Less worm burden means better growth, improved health, and more efficient use of pasture.
- How do we help lambs eat fewer worms?
- Smarter grazing strategies: “lambs shouldn’t follow lambs”.
- Stock integration and rotation.
- High-quality, low-challenge pasture.
- Reducing the number of days trade lambs spend on pasture.
- How do we measure how many worms lambs are eating?
- Tools and techniques to assess worm challenge and make informed decisions.
The start of the new season is a great opportunity to look at your own system for options to help enhance production and reduce the impact of worms – without relying solely on drenches.
