Drench resistance is already a widespread problem in the sheep industry, so how can dairy farmers stay ahead of the game, to avoid the same fate? Regular testing and monitoring are the keys to staying ahead, according to our guests in this episode, who discuss the tools and technology available to farmers right now. 

Guests include:


Greg Mirams, Founder & Managing Director, Techion


Richard Fowler, Rotorua Dairy Farmer


Lance Price, Farm Manager


Ginny Dodunski, Programme Manager, Wormwise

Hosts:


Sheryl Haitana, Editor, Dairy Exporter


Anne Lee, Deputy Editor, Dairy Exporter

Founder and Managing Director of Techion Greg Mirams discusses how changing biology is increasing drench resistance, and what tools and technology are options for farmers to keep ahead of the game. 

Rotorua farmer Richard Fowler has been part of an AgResearch monitoring programme that involved him routinely testing his stock, including for worms. Richard and Lance Price, who manages Richard’s runoff, discuss how the programme has changed their approach to drenching onfarm.  

Wormwise Programme Manager Ginny Dodunski discusses how drench resistance affects cattle herds, and how they’re trying to collect data to get a better understanding of the problems. She says it’s a farm-by-farm discussion about what can be done differently, especially on calf-only blocks.
