WHAT IS SPORPAK?

 

The SPORPAK faecal spore counting (FSC) test allows the easy counting of spores in the faeces of animals to give an accurate assessment of spore intake by the stock.  Spores are not distributed evenly on pasture, and it is difficult to gauge the amount of spores that have actually been swallowed by the stock, unless the faeces are sampled

 

WHY DO WE NEED THE SPORPAK SYSTEM?

 

As the spores are not distributed evenly on pasture it is difficult to gauge the amount of spores that have been swallowed by the stock, unless the faeces are sampled.  Faecal spore counting has been found to be successful in assessing the extent of Facial Eczema.  Once the risk to stock has been assessed, then appropriate measures can be taken.  Monthly samples from August to December and at weekly tests thereafter will monitor the spore levels in the faeces.  High frequency monitoring means that problems can be detected before significant production loss sets in.  Regular monitoring in conjunction with existing farm management practices such as stock observation will also allow you to make more accurate treatment and management decisions.  Without regular FSC information, the lack of “up-to-date” on-farm information means that the FE exposure of the stock is “guessed”.  This leads to both under or over treatment. Don’t guess your zinc treatment timing – zinc itself is toxic.  Regular monitoring allows problems to be detected before significant production loss sets in.

 

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A SPORPAK SYSTEM?

 

  • All SPORPAK equipment is designed to be used on farm by owners, farmers, sharemilkers, veterinarians and consultants.
  • SPORPAK can either be purchased as a complete self contained unit, or part of a combined faecal egg counting system for parasite management.
  • Composite sampling for testing multiple mobs, allows for quick and cost effective management.
  • Users have access to our free online training tutorials and a step by step tutorial DVD which can be used as a resource for training or refreshing people in the SPORPAK process.
