Spring Parasite Surge: Protecting Animals During Warm, Wet Months

Описание: Spring in South Africa brings new growth — and a surge in intestinal parasites. Warm, wet conditions create the perfect environment for coccidiosis outbreaks in lambs, especially in intensive grazing systems and lambing pens.
In this video, we break down the real risk of coccidiosis during spring, how it spreads, what signs to look out for, and most importantly — how to build resilience in your flock to reduce losses and long-term performance setbacks.
You’ll learn:
How the Eimeria parasite thrives in warm, moist conditions
Key symptoms to watch for in lambs (before it’s too late)
Why stress and overcrowding accelerate outbreaks
The challenges and limits of coccidiostats and current treatments
Practical, farm-ready strategies to strengthen gut health and reduce reinfection pressure
How resilience-focused management protects lambs and supports steady growth
Whether you farm in Limpopo, North West, the Overberg, the Swartland, or anywhere parasites spike in spring — this is essential knowledge for the season ahead.
Protect your lambs. Strengthen your flock. Plan ahead, not after an outbreak.
