I would also have an excel tracker or similar showing date started meal before weaning and date finished meal posts weaning.

Think 4 weeks prior and 2 weeks post has been mentioned as requirement.

Got fluke results today. Just reads -none present. Submitted the 10 samples, so no individual result.
Should I assume that my dosing for liver fluke is good so?
Cows housed -must see what I should do them for now

Is that all that had to paid? Or is there a test fee on top?

No, test fee is included in the €21 you pay.

Looks like about 90% of people are getting the same results as yourself.
Wonder how accurate they actually are.

We used Fasinex before when dung samples came back showing rumen fluke.

Don’t think fasinex will do rumen fluke - think it’s liver fluke only but will do all three stages.

Need Zanil or Lefas Diamond for rumen

Be careful giving Lefas Diamond to heavy incalf cows, as it’s hard on the stomach
anything up to 70 days from calving do as they calve

Just seen on Twitter one of the labs is advising that if sample pots aren't ordered before the weekend and returned early next week they will miss the November 1st deadline.
I assume most of the people on here have this done but maybe no harm to remind any of your friends because with the way this year is going some people might not realize that November 1st is do near.

I sent away the dung samples the other day. Had to laugh when yer wan in the Post Office asked me, if there was anything of value in the package.

I only got my sample kit today and won’t get to take samples until Saturday. Monday is bank holiday so it will be Tuesdays post. Hopefully it’ll make it.

I was about to crack a joke, but I thought it might open a can of worms. Might have to spend a while explaining.

They'd be opening more than a can or worms, could be fluke in there too.

Hi I was sure that all you had to do was keep the dockets but the all knowing lads in agriland say that records must be submitted! Has something changed?

Just read the updated t&c's there on the dept site. Record the dates of weaning animals and retain it for compliance and administrative checks. No need to post off.

This Friday is the closing date for a few bits of the scheme, unless there's an extension granted.

The dung samples have to be received by Friday.

For those picking the vaccination part, 1st vaccinations must be done 2-4 weeks before weaning, housing or sale and the second part completed 2-4 weeks before sale. There's a record sheet and purchase records to be sent off to the Dept as well but I can't see any closing date for this but I'm assuming payment will be delayed till that's done.

More details below and the links for the different parts of requirements as well in the last section.

There are record sheets for vaccination and meal. I didn't choose the vaccination option but did choose the meal feeding.
The meal feeding option has a record sheet but the terms and conditions state

Receipts, invoices and labels of all compound feeding stuffs, and/or straights (feed materials) and complementary mineral mixtures purchased must be retained and made available for inspection and administrative check.

That to me sounds like you retain records in case of an inspection? Also there is no address to send off the completed forms to.

Click on the blue rectangular box with BEEP-S in it at the bottom of the page, then click on meal feeding or vaccination.

Sounds like they changed their minds, cos the meal feeding sheet has to be sent to Portlaoise along with copies of the meal dockets.

Edit:The sheet has a published date of 23/10 so seems to me that they have only decided in the past week that it must be sent into them.

The sneaky gits.

I'm sure there has to be another few weeks before these are due anyway as you can still weigh for another few days and if you weigh this week it has to be done before weaning so feeding needs to continue for another 2 weeks at least.

At a guess I'd say you won't get paid until that info has been received.
