Scanning - making use of the information
Manage episode 394248333 series 2887467
With scanning complete on many flocks, on this week’s OviCast we chat to Sheep Specialist Michael Gottstein about making use of this information.
We start off talking about this year’s scanning results and move on to discuss the immediate management changes that can be made by setting up feeding groups.
Michael discusses why we need to divide them on the basis of scanned litter size and lambing date but also highlights the importance of assessing and managing ewe condition score this season.
We also discuss pregnancy rate and the causes of higher empty rates. Scan results are also a useful benchmark and we finish up the episode chatting about using this information to highlight key areas to focus on in the short and longer term.
