Spore counts have dropped this week however vigilance is still encouraged.

Bringing in grass from your own property is the best way to assess the risk to your animals. If you are still getting counts around 20,000 it's not yet time to stop zinc supplementation. Some may wish to administer a third bolus if these are due. Those doing cattle water dosing should be cautious as you reach your 90-110 days of zinc in water, especially if you wish to inject copper-supplements around dry-off.

Clinical cases may still crop up and require treatment, so please contact us for assistance with any animals you are concerned.

A lot of counts have dropped, however, there are still hot spots occurring.

We are still processing grass samples, so if you want to know what's happening on your farm, bring in some grass and we can help you determine the risk on your property.

Clinical cases are being seen so if you have any animals that have symptoms such as restlessness, head shaking, shade seeking and have losses in milk production that are not expected, please speak with your vet.

Welcome to the fourteenth Facial Eczema Spore Count Bulletin for 2026.

For the week ended 17/04/26

𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄 π‚πŽπ”ππ“π’ 𝐏𝐄𝐑 π‘π„π†πˆπŽπ
Feilding: 55,000 - HIGH
Awapuni: 205,000 - HIGH
Tararua: 55,000 - HIGH
Taumarunui: 60,000 - HIGH
Levin: 40,000 - HIGH

The average for all areas remain HIGH again this week.

Weather conditions and paddock aspect dictate spore production and warm overnight temperatures are keeping spore production going on a lot of farms.

Clinical cases have been seen in both cattle and sheep, so animals with inadequate zinc levels are at risk of developing clinical signs and may have already been experiencing subclinical production losses.

Welcome to the thirteenth Facial Eczema Spore Count Bulletin for 2026.

For the week ended 10/04/26

Tararua: 60,000 - HIGH
Taumarunui: 45,000 - HIGH
Levin: 65,000 - HIGH

The spore count trend is HIGH across all regions, and zinc protection should be kept in place.

If you started dosing with zinc early in the season, we can process blood samples for zinc testing to identify risk of zinc toxicity. Overdosing with zinc can affect the pancreas and long-term zinc dosing may interfere with copper and selenium metabolism.

Talk to your vet if you want more information or have any concerns.
