One of the key factors influencing lamb performance at this stage of the season is managing and effectively treating the worm burden.

He also highlights the key areas to focus on to ensure treatments are effective. We then look at why now is an ideal time to carry out a drench test on farms, helping to determine how well the products being used are actually working.
