Show Notes

Dr. Orla Keane joins us to discuss coccidiosis in lambs, a common but often underestimated issue affecting flock performance. 

 

We cover what causes coccidiosis, its impact on lamb health and growth, and the key symptoms farmers should watch for.

 

With the challenging spring weather conditions, we also look at why the risk of infection may be higher this year and what that means for on-farm management.

 

We finish with a practical discussion on treatment and prevention, including how different coccidiostats, their active ingredients, and dosing strategies work to control the disease.
