This week’s facial eczema spore counts are sitting between 45,000 and 245,000 spg. Counts are still in the at-risk levels, so make sure animals receive sufficient zinc to prevents liver damage.  If you are unsure about zinc supplementation in your animals, please be in touch.
Use the table with recommended top‑up dates below to help with planning and timing. Make sure your animals receive top-ups in time as conditions remain favourable for spore development.
