Bimeda announce sponsorship of the 2022 SCOPS Nematodirus forecast

Nematodirus battus, a gastrointestinal roundworm, can cause severe disease, in at-risk lambs, with up to 5% mortality and a severe check in growth rates¹. Not to be confused with a general roundworm burden, Nematodirus strikes quickly and can cause disease before faecal egg counts become useful. These factors mean that you need to proactively assess whether your lambs may be at risk and monitor forecasts which predict the mass hatching of parasites.
