Working from home today, and made the terrible mistake (inspired decision) of making sure all the bird feeders were fully replenished...not much work happening, but delighted by what's happening outside!

Pleased that our new meta-analysis on targeted selective treatment for parasite control has been published online by Veterinary Parasitology! We analysed the impacts of TST on animal performance, infection and wormer use compared to other treatment methods: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Class day at the @soaysheep.bsky.social and @rumdeerresearch.bsky.social joint annual project meeting- loads of great talks and a chance to catch up with some of the loveliest folks.

Year 3 of our experiment looking at impacts of rotational grazing on sheep-parasite interactions is DONE! Huge amounts of data collected already (lamb growth, pasture mass, FEC), with a freezer full of samples ready to be attacked over winter…

Yep, Alison was telling me about the difficulties. I'm sure it's irritating because there are a lot of studies on the topic, butthey all differ so much in what they've done and what/how they report that comparing them becomes impossible...I'll look out for it tho because it would be really valuable!

Excellent! I gather there may have been a meta-analysis involved as well, that was proving quite tricky to get started with...

Absolute pleasure to be involved in this review article on sustainable parasite control in ruminants. Full of lovely stuff on vaccines, nutrition, genetics, grazing and biological control! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Set up a couple of baited pitfall traps to see what dung beetles we’ve got in our grazing trial at our research farm. Looking forward to seeing what we’ve got in a week’s time!

Great fun dung beetle hunting in our grazing trial plots at Moredun with Kelly Jowett and Gen Kiero-Watson from @rothamsted.bsky.social yesterday! Should be the start of a great collab

Lovely geotropid dung beetle on sheep poo on the path up Schiehallion at the weekend- with wee phoretic mite pal in tow!

Gearing up for our grazing trial with a look around the paddocks to see how the lambs are getting on- and also going into the sheds just because they’re cute up close 🙂

Not usual for us to be up at the farm in January- but it looked an absolute picture in the snow, set off beautifully by everyone’s favourite sheep dog!
