Why a DrenchSmart FECRT?
A Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT) tests the efficacy of the range of drench actives and provides an in-depth report of the drench resistance status on your property.
DrenchSmart is an independent FECRT service that you can undertake on your property with minimal hassle.
DrenchSmart makes the process easy
Our fully trained certified DrenchSmart Contractors come to your farm to facilitate the process. This means all you have to do is provide the animals (150 lambs), a weigh crate, and a bit of manpower.
DrenchSmart makes the process easy with a standardised service that exceeds industry best practice.
Receive a personalised report
Your personalised DrenchSmart report gives you a breakdown of resistant species of parasites and makes recommendations on the actives which can - and should be - used on farm.
We test actives, not brands. All information is non-branded and independent - we don't sell drenches! You have the information to confidently shop wherever you choose.
Have confidence your drench is working
80% of NZ farms have drench resistance to one or more actives. Almost 30% of farms we tested in the 22/23 season have triple active resistance. You cannot see drench resistance unless you test.
By the time you can see a drench has not worked, it has been failing for some time - possibly years. Drench is not getting cheaper - it's imperative that you have confidence that the drench you are investing in is working.
Save time and money
A drench that is not working could cost you tens of thousands of dollars a year in lost production and additional costs.
