New diagnostic service from Intervet pinpoints lambing losses

From January 2007, sheep farmers will be able to benefit from a new diagnostic service from Intervet.  Barren EweCheck is designed to help farmers determine the cause or causes of barrenness and reduce unwanted losses. 

Contrary to popular belief, the weather and ewe nutrition are not the only reasons why you aren’t getting as many lambs as you could.  Whilst abortion is the most obvious cause, early embryonic death leading to barren ewes and weak lambs that die shortly after they are born are also significant contributors to the loss of ewe productivity.
