Techion : Sheep : Advanced parasite management, more effective drenching

Advanced parasite management for Sheep.

Techion offers a host of benefits for parasite management in Sheep.

FECPAK^G2 can significantly reduce worming treatment (drench) use. The DrenchSmart faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) identifies which drenches are still effective at killing parasites in your flock. Phen^R helps you breed naturally resistant Sheep.

Together, these products work to breed and grow healthier, heavier lambs for better financial outcomes.

Take the guesswork out of drenching with DrenchSmart

Faecal egg count (FEC) reduction tests analyses the effectiveness of drench actives by testing animals before and after drenching. DrenchSmart is Techion’s FEC reduction test. For sheep farmers, DrenchSmart tests the seven commonly used drench actives and active combinations on sheep on your property.

FECPAK^G2 – the on-farm parasite diagnostic platform

FECPAK^G2 revolutionises parasite management in sheep. The innovative FECPAK^G2 diagnostic platform makes sheep faecal egg count testing (also known as FEC or worm egg count testing) easier and faster to do virtually anywhere, by anyone. Frequent, accurate worm egg count testing enables sheep farmers to treat the right animals at the right time with the right treatment.

With FECPAK^G2 you can save time and money, improve animal health and performance and take a more sustainable approach to the use of worming treatments.

Innovative yet simple faecal egg count method for Sheep

Image based, it provides greater quality control and auditability.
Internet connected, it overcomes distance and provides faster results.
Software supported, it increases efficiency.
Scientifically validated, it is a proven way to test FEC on sheep and other species.
Simple to do, it encourages more frequent testing and better, more informed decision making.
Results can be easily connected to expertise to support treatment and decision programmes.

Demonstrated savings

FECPAK^G2 can significantly reduce the use of worming treatment, resulting in better outcomes for sheep farmers. This was clearly demonstrated in the Sainsbury’s Project field study. Most case study farmers in the Sainsbury's Project reduced wormer/drench use - some by up to 50% - by using FECPAK^G2 to shift from scheduled worming, to worming only when their lambs, ewes and hoggets needed it.

Take charge

Sheep farmers can take charge of worm testing and parasite management in their animals with FECPAK^G2. Effective and simple to use, FECPAK^G2 provides you with reliable data in real time.

Anyone, anywhere

The simplicity of FECPAK^G2 provides sheep farmers with the ability to obtain immediate, reliable data without having to send the tests to a lab. FECPAK^G2 can be used by anyone, almost anywhere, be it in your barn, shed or kitchen.

Overcome distance

Sending information by the internet frees you from transporting faecal samples to a lab/clinic. This is particularly useful if you are remotely based. FECPAK^G2 also generates faster results, often within an hour, enabling you to promptly adjust treatment programmes accordingly.

Breeding for Resistance with Phen^R

The future of parasite control needs to include non-chemical methods, such as breeding, to ensure all controls remain effective. Phen^R provides sheep farmers with data that allows them to rank, select and breed animals that are naturally resistant to parasites, and lessen their reliance on worming treatments.

Take charge of parasite management and improve farm performance with FECPAK^G2, DrenchSmart and Phen^R. Contact us today if you want the best performance from your animals.

FECPAK^G2 revolutionises parasite management. It is an internet connected, image based diagnostic platform scientifically validated to conduct faecal egg count (FEC) tests on animals. With FECPAK^G2 you can save time and money, improve animal health and performance, and use worming treatments more sustainably.

Drench resistance is a massive and growing problem. Using ineffective drenches can significantly reduce lamb weight gain, farm income and lower the value of your property. A DrenchSmart faecal egg count reduction test shows you which drench actives are most effective at killing parasites in animals on your property.
