Livestock Management With Ginny Dodunski

"The more productivity benefits you see from these boluses, the more likely it is that there are underlying issues in your system," she explains.

Two slow-release ruminal bolus products were pulled from the market in 2022 after suspicions they were releasing active ingredients slower than expected.

Following a thorough review, they have now been re-introduced and Wormwise Programme Manager Ginny Dodunski chats to Dom about the impact this will have on parasite control for sheep moving into lambing season.

She delves into the mechanics of these boluses, raises concerns about drench resistance and stresses the importance of understanding parasite sensitivity specific to each farm

In addition to discussing bionic boluses, Dodunski highlights the significance of optimal livestock nutrition and health management practices.
