Regular testing and monitoring are the keys to staying ahead. This episode includes discussion on the technology available and practical ways to manage drench resistance in cattle.

At least one in three Kiwi sheep farms has triple drench resistance, according to the latest drench efficacy testing undertaken by Techion.

‘Tech-shy Kiwi farmers slow to adopt disease-fighting tools’. In an age of triple drench resistance, technology holds the key to combating animal diseases, says Techion founder.

APlus News was joined by our NZ sales guru and (self-confessed) parasite nerd, Tracy McHutchon in Adelaide at LambEx.

Costly drench resistance getting worse. More than a third of NZ sheep farms are resistant to triple combination drenches, which is costing the average farm $70,000 a year in lost production.

The stigma that follows drench resistance. 

Greg Mirams joined The Al & Juddy Show recently, to chat about the challenge drench resistance holds for farmers and tools to combat it.

Data can help deal with drench crisis. Intensive monitoring among the more effective resets in farm management.

Managing Director Greg Mirams talks to the AM Show about all things FECPAKG2, Techions collaboration with Awanui Labs & Aware Group and the emergence of Techion's technology into human health.

Drench resistance in sheep can be a $98 million problem. Farmers should stop over-relying on drench to kill parasites, but rather manage their pastures and control the amount of parasites on it.

NO MORE PARASITES. Techion collaborates with AI developer, Aware to boost production, savings and sustainability on farm.

Increasing drench resistance a growing problem on NZ farms. A key factor in the dramatic failure of commonly used triple drenches is that these are not effective on 27% of New Zealand sheep farms.

The New Zealand sheep industry is being robbed of almost $100 million a year because of undetected drench resistance, according to research from Techion, the company that has developed FECPAK^G2.

Tech takes 'guesswork' out of mussel farming. A new technology platform has been designed in Dunedin to support one of New Zealand’s most valuable seafood exports.

FECPAK^G2 customers generate over 30,000 sheep FEC samples a year, providing unrivalled data to analyse seasonal and regional variances in parasite levels across NZ.

Undetected drench resistance is costing the NZ sheep sector almost $50 million a year — and it may only get worse.

Techion Group has taken in around $5 million in funding so far to develop a technology that allows microscopic images of very small things to be captured and then transmitted over the cloud for analysis.

Agricultural technology company Techion has cornered an international market. Greg Mirams, explained how the internet of things and fast fibre broadband has transformed the way he does business.

A Dunedin company has developed new technology that could make diagnosising a major public health problem easier.

An Invermay-based agtech company that rose from the ashes of the 2007-08 global financial crisis has reinvented itself with a revolutionary design of an online diagnostic tool to monitor parasites in livestock.

Relocating Techion Group to Invermay will enable the animal parasite diagnostics company to upscale manufacturing and ramp the business up, managing director Greg Mirams says.
