Head Shepherd

All you need to know about Toxoplasmosis with Connor Bury

Mark Ferguson, Connor Bury Season 2025 Episode 223

This week on the Head Shepherd podcast, we’re deep-diving into Toxoplasma Gondii with veterinary parasitologist Connor Bury. Connor walks us through the lifecycle of the parasite, how it’s impacting sheep farmers across the world, and what we can do to reduce the impacts of it.

Whilst many know that cats are the main culprits in spreading toxo, did you know the importance of water quality when it comes to reducing the spread of the parasite? 

Tune in today to learn more and equip yourself with the knowledge to lower your sheep's risk of toxoplasmosis.
