    Who does your FEC and what does it cost?

    I know the FEC test is the right way to do it...

    But I only have a few ewes and lambs, so I might have them dosed for the same cost of the FEC... so hard to know what to do at times... :confused:

    Have my own kit but use farmlab in Elphin, Roscommon to check now and again to make sure we're doing it right

    They charge about €15 for pre drench and same for after test plus the cost you have for posting samples

    Haven't tested anything here yet but i'd imagine it's too cold for nemo and too early for any worms in march born lambs
    Scops.org have two sites in the south monitoring for nemos, one in valentia and belmullet and two in the north.
    Also in roches point where they're saying there's no hatch yet
