- 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.
