Internal parasites are one of the biggest health challenges affecting sheep and goats. This workshop will help producers understand parasite control and develop integrated management plans for their flocks.
Participants will receive hands on training in:
- Using the FAMACHA Anemia Guide and five point checks
- Identifying and analyzing fecal eggs
- Understanding selective deworming evasive grazing, and alternative treatment options
Participants are encouraged to bring a refrigerated fecal sample of 8 to 10 pellets from one sheep or goat in a sealed baggie. Please wear clean clothes and shoes for biosecurity and plan to change before returning to your own farm chores.
