Parasites and drench resistance are becoming a major challenge for farmers across New Zealand, putting real pressure on productivity and profitability. Quick, accurate diagnosis can make all the difference — saving time, saving money, and helping you make smarter decisions on-farm.

In this episode brought to you by Beef + Lamb New Zealand and powered by The Country, Hamish McKay dives into this issue with two leading voices in the field: Beef + Lamb New Zealand Scientist Cara Brosnahan, and parasitologist Sarah Riddy.

Together, they break down the practical tools available right now to help identify parasite problems early — and how using a combination of these tools can give farmers clearer insights, stronger parasite management strategies, and better long‑term results.
