•         Areas of the North Island are at “DANGER LEVELS”. 
•         Check facial eczema preventative measures ensuring animals are adequately protected, water in most case is now not enough.
•         Use MineralBoost G2 Zinc in feeds to prevent facial eczema.

As more regions are reported on we are seeing a dramatic lift in spore counts. Make sure that your facial eczema preventative programme is well underway and that you are using proven zinc products such as MineralBoostG2 Zinc. MineralBoostG2 Zinc is registered with the ACVM as a veterinary medicine for the prevention of facial eczema and should be included in your next PKE or meal blend order, at 200gms per cow, per day.

The first report from Gribbles for facial eczema has now arrived. Of special note is that there are already hot areas within certain regions.

Don’t take risks with your livestock.  Remember that 100 days at a count of 5,000 can be just a as damaging as a day at 500,000. The damage is cumulative and animals that are already sensitised earlier in the season or with previous liver damage of any cause are at greater risk when counts rise. Facial Eczema can be the biggest production killer on farms in the North Island and is very preventable.
