SwabTec is an Australian animal health technology company focused on developing new tools to improve sheep health and breeding outcomes. Their current flagship innovation is a simple saliva‑based test for worm resistance in sheep.

Join Mark Ferguson and SwabTec founder Sarah Preston to hear about:

• The story and science behind SwabTec.
• The high heritability of SwabTec’s saliva test, wAbSwab, which can lead to faster improvements in flock resistance.
• The benefits of SwabTec versus traditional testing methods (e.g. there is no need to expose lambs to a high worm burden).
• How commercial producers and stud breeders can use SwabTec in their businesses.
• Examples from research validation with AGBU, Sheep Genetics and neXtgen Agri showing reliability and potential on‑farm value.
