Our January Worm Heat Map update shows variable changes to worm egg counts since last month, but they remain high in most sheep producing regions.
Data is based on collated worm egg counts (WECs) from samples submitted via FECPAK machines. The January dataset contained a record 974 WECs from submissions spread across Australia. Let’s aim for 1000 submissions in February!
The Worm Heat Map is based on the average WEC for each region. Green is <100 epg, orange is 100-250 epg, light red is 250-500 epg and dark red is >500 epg.
