Inadvertant Introductions

New acquisitions can inadvertantly bring with them a whole host of uninvited guests. It is wise to assume no matter how scrupulous people can be that new stock may be harbouring parasites that don't have to be introduced to your pastures.

I alway take care to ensure that sheep and lambs coming from outside the flock are treated for internal and external parasites prior to letting them onto my pastures. Of course it may be a lot longer before I get any decent photos of them!

 La mise en quarantaine de tous les nouveaux arrivés  est le meilleur façon à protéger le troupeau contre les introductions non invité. Un traitement  pour  les parasites interne et externe est obligatoire en même temps.
