Thursday 9th September 2010, from 5.00pm – 8.00pm
As part of the Better Returns West Midlands Programme, join EBLEX and ADAS for this FREE informative discussion. The meeting will focus on performance of the flock at Frodesley Park Farm, considering particular issues faced this season. Harriet Fuller will talk about how to prevent and control coccidiosis, a major cause of poor performance in lambs throughout the country, and will also consider the best approach to mastitis. The importance of pre-tupping management of ewes and rams will also be discussed and there will be a practical demonstration of a ram MOT to help eliminate sub-fertile rams.
