In The Know: Innovations in Lice Treatment with Dr Jane Morrison

Oral lice treatment?! No matter what wool length?! We’re listening… Traditionally, sheep are treated for lice through a backline at the time of shearing. With a new oral treatment product on the market, your host Oli Le Lievre got curious and asked some questions of Dr Jane Morrison:

• What does it take to get a new product to market?
• How do farmers benefit from using the new oral lice treatment?
• How does the oral product work and how long is it effective for?
• How long are the withholding periods for meat and wool? 

And of course, we were curious about our guest Jane as well! She’s from the land and her earliest memories are on the farm with her dad. Now a Veterinarian, she has spent the last 18 years with MSD Animal Health Australia.
