The Country with Beef + Lamb New Zealand: Mythbusting Facial Eczema

Facial eczema can cause big headaches on the farm. Because the signs aren’t always obvious, it can creep up on you and end up costing a lot - both in production and in animal health. 
In the first episode of a new podcast series from Beef + Lamb New Zealand and The Country, Hamish McKay sits down with Principal Scientist Cara Brosnahan and Senior Advisor farmer engagement Kristen Kilpatrick. They break down what facial eczema is, what causes it, the risks for your stock, and why planning ahead is the best way to protect your animals. They also explain why this isn’t just a North Island issue anymore.
