How to get a Replacement FAMACHA Card
Amy Barkley, Team Leader & Livestock Specialist
Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Program
If used frequently, FAMACHA cards should be replaced every 2-3 years to ensure that the color swatches on the cards are remain accurate. If used less frequently and kept in a dark place, these cards may last longer. Old, lost or damaged cards can now be replaced through a partnership with LSU.
If you are FAMACHA certified you can get replacement FAMACHA cards by contacting Dr. Vatta's Parasitology Lab at Louisiana State University. You will need to send an email to famacha@lsu.edu saying you need information on ordering a replacement FAMACHA card. You will need to verify that you are FAMACHA certified by either telling them when and at what workshop you were certified at and possibly who the instructor was OR attaching a photo of your certification form.
