As above, €40 euro per calf, seems you can rent the scales for €50 euro.
Not sure on the number of weigh ins required. For me it would be ~800 euro, can’t say whether I’m interested or not

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.

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

Just keep the receipts/dockets.

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.

I put in the weights on ICBF Saturday, How do we prove that we're giving meal?

When I was inputting the weights yesterday I just noticed the weights of the cows from last year, very little difference in them for the year.

Hi all.when is the final date for inputting weights etc

1st November, had scales out today for the job happy with all. When I was collecting it lad in Co-op asked could I drop it back this evening as they are under pressure with everyone looking for them now and they have 8 scales on the go. So rang this evening to say I would have it there for 5 & there was a boy sitting waiting on it.

They won't. I've a few scoury cows and wanted to get them tested. If they pool the 10 samples together then it's pointless, I know.

Collected as many dung samples as I could today. Teamed up with a nieghbour and we rounded up the cows in the field. Maddest ones pooped first. The quietest ones wouldn't pass anything. Went at it again this evening and nothing would pass when I was there on my own. Worked well enough.

Do the dung samples have to come from the cows in the scheme or does it matter?

I scribbled the herd number only on all the containers. To post them off, I laid out a large square of cling, Lined up the pots 4 in the centre and 3 either side, wrapped tightly with the cling. Repeated the cling from the top side. Then into to ziplock or similar. labeled the jiffy bag. €6.20 postage, they didn't ask at the Post office about the contents.

I just left whole lot in a box outside the lab door.
I'd say the post men/women who deliver to these labs are looking forward to November 1st!!!

Quick question - sample bottles came today .... Do I write the Tag No. on the bottle?
Bottles I got, seem to be for human use in a hospital. Label doesn't mention Tag Number.

Sent mine off today, I've never labelled the bottles in the past and didn't today, only wrote numbers on the accompanying paperwork. Same lab as you're dealing with...

For Oldcastle Labs you don't write tag numbers on the bottles as the samples are pooled together for testing. You write the ten tag numbers on the form provided.
Is there no instructions with the bottles?

You will be filling 10 pots with faeces - and then writing down diligently on a list the numbers of the 10 cows you have sampled......

The 10 pots are all then pooled together and tested as one pooled sample - So not traceable back to any individual cow. The phrase “full of sh*t” comes to mind.

Thanks a million, this will save me a good bit of time.

Id swear theyre holding it in out of spite...
