Internal Parasite IPM and FAMACHA Training
Wednesday, August 13th, 6:00pm - 8:30pm
Location: Anthony Marco's Farm - Woodhull, NY
Learn about integrated pest management practices that are key to reducing internal parasite dewormer resistance in sheep and goats. When not managed properly, internal parasites can be a costly financial burden to farms. All who take this training will learn about parasites and their lifecycles, strategies to reduce the need for antiparasitic drugs, and ways to use dewormers to reduce resistance issues. Everyone will receive hands-on practice with performing FAMACHA exams and 5-Point Checks to help determine parasite loads and selecting which animals to treat. Students successfully completing this course will receive a FAMACHA card to use on their farm, and will receive a certificate of completion.
Your instructors will be Jess Waltemyer, Cornell's Pro-Livestock Small Ruminant Specialist and Amy Barkley, Livestock Specialist with the CCE SWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program.
