FAMACHA Training Jamestown, NY
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.
