The sheep poo is tested for worms every few months; as Pixie has had a runny bottom she had her own sample taken and the other sample was a random selection from the paddock. The results from the vet show that there is no evidence of a gut worm burden and additionally Pixie’s sample had a low Coccidiosis count, so no treatment is necessary. A good result for the sheep and evidence that regular twice daily poo picking of the paddock is working well as a control measure. No frost this morning, still very cold, low cloud and fog formed as dusk settled.
