Producers of small ruminants (i.e., sheep, goats, llamas, and alpacas) are invited to attend this workshop to learn about common parasites and their management. Additionally, equine owners may find some benefit from lectures and activities as the themes around parasite resistance and pasture management applies to horses, mules, and donkeys.<\/p>\n

Hands-on activities, such as performing a fecal egg count on a microscope and practicing the FAMACHA protocol (for barber pole worm) on live animals, will teach producers how to identify parasites to make informed management decisions. Farmers are encouraged to bring a fresh fecal sample from one animal to examine. Participants will become FAMACHA certified and can purchase an anemia index card at the workshop upon certification. Light refreshments will be provided.<\/p>\n
