After periods of high rainfall and pasture growth, worms can be in abundance. If you want to figure out which paddocks the livestock may have picked up the worms in, have a look through the movement history of the livestock in AgriWebb using the Movement Report on the Web App. If you can identify that what they have in common is grazing in a specific paddock, there’s a good chance it could be a source of the worms.
Access this record on Australian, Compliance and Performance subscriptions. Currently this record is only available for the sheep species and will be made available for cattle in the future.
