Farm Source Focus

In this four part videos series, Vet and Researcher Emma Cuttance explains what facial eczema is, how it develops, how it can affect milk production (even when the symptoms are not visible) and how you can protect your herd from this devasting disease. We also talk to Farm Source Technical Sales Representative Nick Anderson about the different products that are available to include in your zinc control and prevention programme and he touches on the different application methods of these products. Plus we hear from Julene Fisher a farmer from Waikato who has seen the effects of facial eczema herself and how her approach has completely changed as a result.
