The third installment in the March Animal Health Series in association with MSD Animal Health Ireland is now available to watch on Agriland.
In this evening’s episode, the discussion focussed on controlling coccidiosis in lambs and calves.
The broadcast featured Helena Madden, ruminant veterinary manager with MSD Animal Health Ireland, speaking with Co. Galway-based vet Conor Geraghty.
The conversation took place on the farm of Seamus Quigley near Ballinasloe, Co. Galway. Seamus himself contributed to the discussion to give a farmer view of controlling coccidiosis.
