OptiGro for Facial Eczema & Rye Grass Staggers

Facial Eczema & Ryegrass Staggers, Is this a problem on your farm?

These guys have plenty to say about OptiGro in the treatment of Facial Eczema and Ryegrass Staggers.

"The first year I used OptiGro, I had 200 ewes and lambs that actually had Facial Eczema.

I drenched them twice, as directed and 2/3 recovered to be sold.

The second year I had a mob of 280 lambs. I noticed 8 sitting in the shade with floppy ears, the first signs of Facial Eczema. I drenched the whole mob with OptiGro and none broke out with facial eczema.

I get a better result if I use OptiGro as a preventative treatment. Now, when spore counts get very high in paddocks, I drench the sheep with OptiGro and it works. I have noticed that OptiGro also has a tonic effect.

I have been doing this for 3 seasons."

Mark Loye, Manager,  Oreka Station, Hastings (1050ha property carying 5000 ewes and 300 cows).

Although manufactured as a fertiliser, OptiGro Seaweed Concentrate has been rapidly gaining support from Kiwi farmers, for its beneficial effects when used as a drench, in the treatment of Facial Eczema & Ryegrass Staggers.

" I normally get Ryegrass Staggers in ewes and lambs. This year I drenched all the ewes with OptiGro and had no Staggers.

It was also the highest scanning result I have ever had. The lambs were not drenched and it was a bad year for staggers for them. After my experience with drenching the ewes with OptiGro last year, they will all be drenched with OptiGro again this year as a prevention for Ryegrass Staggers.

All the lambs will also be drenched with OptiGro as a prevention for Ryegrass Staggers. I have found OptiGro safe and easy to use."

Hamish McInnes, Manager Haupouri And Okahu Stations, Hawkes Bay.

OptiGro is made from a thick blend of the worlds finest Kelp Seaweed. For many years the beneficial effects of Kelp Seaweed on livestock health, pasture, & crops, has been well known. These benefits are largely attributed to the concentrated levels of over 50 trace elements contained within the Kelp Seaweed.

" I have  been using OptiGro for the last 3 years. I have had lambs with eczema signs, given them OptiGro and been able to put them on the truck to the works once recovered. My mates gave me stick for using OptiGro and yet phoned me back later for the contact details.

200 mixed sex lambs with eczema were drafted out of the works mob, some worse than others. All except 2 were drenched twice with OptiGro and recovered . They were all killed at the works and nothing showed up. The 2 that only got one treatment both died. Others that had no sign, got one treatment and were as good as gold.

I used to hesitate before buying lambs if it looked like Facial Eczema weather. Now I buy and drench with OptiGro and have had no problems."

Many farmers find OptiGro to be a safe, non toxic alternative to zinc oxide, when treating Facial Eczema affected stock. 

 "I Have used OptiGro for 3 years now and have found this product more than succesful in preventing Facial Eczema outbreaks as well as the stock seem more vibrant and healthy."
