Integrated Parasite Management and FAMACHA Class – Saturday June 16th, 10:00 am-3:00 pm, at the back classroom at the Extension Learning Farm.

Learn about the different types of worms, the different types of de-wormers, how to use the de-wormers strategically to avoid building up resistance in the parasites at your farm. We will also talk about ways to graze and manage your sheep and goats to avoid building up parasite larva on the pasture. We will cover the lecture part in the morning and do more hands on activities like running fecal samples and handling sheep or goats in the afternoon.
