Why test your herd?
- Treat the animals that need it, not the whole herd by routine
- Slow the build-up of wormer resistance
- Check that a wormer has worked with a follow-up test
- Spot liver fluke before it causes serious losses, as alpacas and llamas are very susceptible
- Keep records for your herd health plan
