Sheep stomach worm control through pasture changes and drenching

The report notes widespread stomach worm issues in lambs across the Piedmont, stressing regular drenching and strategic grazing. Ewes with winter grazing, Abruzzi rye, and crimson clover kept weight during lambing while permanent pasture or dry lots caused slight losses. From June 1 to November 1 drenching is essential, and temporary pastures mimic drenching every fourteen days. A pasture change as often as possible with drenching when needed is the most practical control. More than one-ninth of Hungary’s 8,604,000 residents live in Budapest.
