Weekly Facial Eczema Spore Count Results

January 28, 2022

Grass samples tested this week from the MVS Monitor Farms have shown the following:

Hinuera Monitor Paddocks – 0 – 5000 spores/gram
Matamata Monitor Paddocks – 0 spores/gram
Te Poi Monitor Paddocks – 0 – 1600 spores/gram
Tirau Monitor Paddocks – 0 – 5000 spores/gram
Walton Monitor Paddocks – 0 – 5000 spores/gram
Waharoa Monitor Paddocks – 3300 – 45000 spores/gram

As you can see the risk hasn’t changed much in the last week, however, Waharoa has continued to rise. This reflects how much variation there is in the district and the importance of testing your own farm if you have any concerns.

Spore counts vary from farm to farm so the only way to know your risk is to check your grass for spores.

REMINDER IF YOU BRING IN THREE GRASS SAMPLES FOR TESTING YOU CAN HAVE A FOURTH FREE!

We are thrilled to advise you that MVS Farm and Small Animals has been accredited by the New Zealand Veterinary Association as ‘Best Practice’.

So why all the excitement?

It is no easy task! It took us months of work and then we had to pass an intense audit, which was passed with flying colours.

So now we can say, with extreme confidence that you will continue to receive excellence in veterinary case from Matamata Veterinary Services.
