Working on Worms: sheep parasite management workshop – pilot

ParaBoss is Australia’s premier source of independent information about management and control of parasites in cattle, goats and sheep. The ParaBoss extension team is developing a one-day workshop that will help sheep producers manage internal parasites in their livestock in accordance with best practice principles. You are invited to attend a pilot workshop to discuss the main internal parasites of sheep, including the life cycles and impacts on livestock of worms.
Learn about:
• The cost of worms to the Australian sheep industry
• The different worms that affect sheep and their life cycles
• Best practice worm control
• Minimising the onset, development and impact of drench resistance
• Worm egg counts and what they tell you
• How to use grazing management to help reduce the impact of worms in your flock
• How to use the ParaBoss tools – what product, when, dose rates, reading and understanding the label
• Effective use of drench

The workshop will assist you with developing an integrated parasite management plan for your farm, which you will be able to implement on your property. There is no cost to attend the workshop. By attending the pilot workshop, we will ask you for detailed feedback on the content, to help us refine the workshop to meet industry needs. Your feedback will be treated confidentially.
