New Zealand and UK-based agritech Techion Group - now rebranded as Fecpak - has developed an online system enabling farmers to get quick assessments of parasite levels in flocks, resulting in more efficient drenching and improved livestock quality. Managing Director Greg Mirams said the internet-based screening system relied on collecting parasite eggs from a faecal sample, before photographing it with a purpose-built device. Images can be sent from anywhere in the world, with analysis and diagnosis often taking less than an hour.
