Management of Internal Parasites in Sheep & Goats Workshop
July 16, 2016In addition to teaching the basics of internal parasites and their control, the Saturday workshop will teach proper anthelmintic use and hands-on training in using the FAMACHA Anemia Guide and other monitoring skills to determine the need for deworming. The workshop will provide lots of practice on doing fecal worm egg analyses and also cover new innovations in parasite control. You are encouraged to bring a refrigerated baggie with 8 to 10 fecal pellets from one goat or sheep to the workshop.
In the interest of biosecurity, PLEASE wear clean clothes and shoes to the workshop and plan on changing your clothes upon returning to your own farm before doing chores.
The workshop is limited to 25 participants.
Sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension, the USDA Organic Research & Extension Initiative, Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NESARE) Program and Federal Formula Funds.
