In this episode, Hamish sits down with North Canterbury farmer Charles Douglas‑Clifford and local veterinarian Erin Riley to unpack the growing risk of Facial Eczema in the South Island. With farmers already spotting early signs of the fungus responsible for the disease, the conversation explores what this means for animal health and farm management. They also dive into the sheep poo study on Charles’s farm and reveal how the data gathered is helping to power the Eliminating Facial Eczema Impacts Programme.
