SHEEP WELFARE SCHEME

Sheep Welfare Scheme 2022

 

 

 

  • Oldcastle laboratories Ltd comply with the Vetqas Parasitology Proficiency Testing (PT0114) for laboratory number 1340 – Oldcastle Laboratories and are therefore granted approval by DAFM to carry Faecal Egg Samples under the 2021 Sheep Welfare Scheme.

 

 

  • The Sheep Welfare Scheme requires participants with Lowland flocks to carry out a minimum of 2 Faecal Egg Counts per annum between 1st June 2022 and 30 September 2022.

 

 

  • For Hill Flocks 1 Faecal Egg Count  must be carried out on lambs within 4 weeks post weaning, depending on farming practices this can be any time throughout the scheme year.
