Troubleshooting problems in the field

Sheep Specialist, Michael Gottstein joins Ciaran Lynch on this week’s OviCast podcast to discuss how to stay ahead of potential issues in the flock post-turnout.

Michael provides insights into the current situation on farms and shares practical advice for maintaining performance, especially where grass supplies are tight. He explains why managing a separate group of problem ewes and lambs can be a beneficial strategy.

Key health concerns, including the treatment and prevention of grass tetany, as well as common challenges farmers may face – ranging from mastitis and lameness to coccidiosis in lambs – were also discussed.
