This week’s notices: 

Final season of Sheep Poo Study – farmers needed nationwide

B+LNZ is calling on farmers from all regions to take part in the final season of the Sheep Poo Study. This research is helping build a clearer picture of how facial eczema (FE) affects farms across NZ and your farm could help complete the puzzle. Read our ​full media release and register​ for the next season here.

TB review – have your say

There is still time for farmers to have their say about the TB Plan review. There are in-person meetings taking place across the country, so come along to find out more about what is being proposed or visit the B+LNZ website to watch ​our webinar​. Farmers fund the TBfree programme through levies, and their input in this consultation is vital. The consultation runs through September and October. ​Find out more and make a submission here​.
