SubscribeWith wet weather and worms set to continue throughout 2022/23 summer, it is all the more important for producers to be vigilant with monitoring, and increase the frequency of worm egg counts in their flock. By choosing a ParaBoss Certified WEC QA Service provider, they can be certain their results will be accurate.
The 2022 ParaBoss WEC QA round has just been completed. Sixty per cent of businesses participating immediately met the criteria for ParaBoss certification. A further 30% had some issues that, if addressed, will allow them to be certified. Unfortunately, 10% of participating businesses had major issues making them ineligible for certification in this round.
The ParaBoss WEC QA Program continues to demonstrate its value by identifying businesses that can demonstrate proficiency, and with the current challenging worm control conditions, accurate WEC results are more important than ever! The contact details for the 2022 ParaBoss certified WEC providers are also on the ParaBoss website under “find an advisor”.
