🐑 FlockCheck 2025/26 kicks off early to help more farmers 🐑

MSD Animal Health’s popular FlockCheck scheme is launching early this year to help more farmers identify potential causes of lamb losses.

Last year, FlockCheck revealed that that 79% of 400 tested flocks had been exposed to Toxoplasma gondii and 35% tested positive for exposure to Chlamydia abortus, the cause of enzootic abortion*.

The scheme offers subsidised tests for exposure for these conditions to farmers in England, Scotland, and Wales, and gets underway on December 1, 2025.

Run through veterinary practices, it involves collecting blood samples from six to eight aborted, unvaccinated ewes, barren ewes or those producing weakly lambs.

The results are then used to create more targeted control strategies and reduce early lamb losses.

To take part in FlockCheck 2025/26, speak to your vet.

Protection against infection? Vaccinate!

Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is the most common cause of death and poor performance in cattle from weaning to 10 months.*

Vaccination is a cornerstone of BRD control.

By stimulating immunity, vaccines help reduce the severity of disease, minimise viral shedding, and improve calf performance in infected animals.

When used as part of a wider management strategy, vaccination can be the difference between lifelong poor performance or a calf becoming a healthy, productive adult.

For a BRD vaccination plan bespoke to your farm, including they type and timings of vaccines, speak to your vet.

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to manage cryptosporidiosis in youngstock.

But everyday farm practices are crucial to. Here are some top tips for crypto management:

Impeccable hygiene: Thoroughly clean and disinfect calf pens between batches. Use 'all-in, all-out' systems are ideal where possible.

Quality colostrum: Ensure calves receive adequate amounts of high-quality colostrum within the first few hours of life. If in doubt, check out the 5 Qs of colostrum management.

Dedicated equipment: Use separate feeding equipment for sick calves to prevent spread.

Minimise environmental stress: Provide dry, well-ventilated, and draught-free housing to reduce stress and bolster immunity.

Taking a holistic approach with vaccination at its core is the key managing cryptosporidiosis and producing thriving calves.
