We had a great time this week sampling the wethers at @BalmoralBreede1. We have a target of 4000 saliva tests to be completed when ASBVs WECs are being performed. This is to validate the saliva test as a suitable measurement of worm resistance!

We had a great time today at Sheepvention talking worms, antibodies and breeding worm resistant sheep using saliva. Come and see us tomorrow if you would like to find out more. @FedUniAustralia @LaunchVic @beanstalkagtech @VicGovAg #meatsheep #Sheepvention #merinos

SwabTec is thrilled to secure a $50,000 AgTech Grants Program from @LaunchVic and @AgricultureVictoria The grant will help us take our ideas from the lab to the farm, and provide farmers with a simple saliva test to help breed worm resistant sheep.

Excited to see @DarrenPOBrien trialling out our saliva test to breed worm resistant sheep and helping us collect validation data to support its use Australia wide.

THANKS FARMERS! 9000 TESTS (NOW) BOOKED IN. @SwabTec thanks everyone who has signed up for our on-farm trials to measure worm resistance in sheep. Big shout out to the Kealys at Curlew Merinos, @beanstalkagtech & Victorian Sheep and Goat Compensation Fund for your support.
