Farm technician services

If you have a smaller herd or flock and require a little extra help carrying out some of the more routine husbandry jobs then our farm technician service might be for you! , 

We have a mobile farm technician available tuesday - Thursday who can booked on an ad-hoc basis or as part of  tailor-made plan suited to your holding.

Ring 07912281994 to discuss your needs and book a visit

Our farm technician can be booked to collect individual or group samples from animals for routine parasite surveillance or post treatment testing. Using wormers without faecal egg samples can result in in-effective  treatment or anthelmintic resistance.

If you have a small number of sheep then buying large bottles of strike prevention sprays can represent a big financial outlay and significant drug wastage. 

It might be more cost effective to book a farm technician visit for dagging and spraying. 

Treat sheep at the start of the fly season, pre-shearing, with a short acting product, followed by a long acting product 4 weeks post shearing.

Keep an eye on the strike risk in your area or report a case to warn others via the nadis website

Utilise our farm technician service for help implementing your flock of herd foot care plan. 

This might include foot bathing, lameness scoring, foot rot vaccination or some routine trimming of breeds that benefit from more routine foot trimming (e.g goats and some continental mountain breeds of sheep) as advised by the vet team.
