Learn about integrated pest management practices that are key to reducing internal parasite loads and dewormer resistance in sheep, goats, and camelids. When not managed properly, internal parasites can be a costly financial burden to farms. All who take this training will learn about:

• Common internal parasites and their lifecycles
• Strategies to reduce the need for antiparasitic drugs
• Developing an effective grazing plan to reduce worm burdens
• Practical ways to use dewormers to reduce resistance issues

Everyone will receive hands-on practice with performing FAMACHA exams and 5-Point Checks© to aid in 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.

This event is free to attend!
