Small Ruminant On-Line FAMACHA Certificate Program

Thursday, April 9 • 9AM-11AM

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.

Petersburg, VA 23806

Despite opportunities for success in sheep and goat production, parasite control and anthelmintic resistance are major problems faced by producers. In order to help producers address the challenges of internal parasites on the farm, the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (ACSRPC; www.acsrcp.org) was formed. The objective has been to develop research-based options to make up a toolbox of practices for controlling internal parasites on farms. This workshop emphasizes the use of multiple techniques, such as pasture management and strategic deworming, for the effective control of internal parasites. This is important to assist producers in prolonging the efficacy of chemical dewormers on their farms.

Presented by

Dr. Dahlia O’Brien, Small Ruminant Specialist, Virginia State University
