| Description: |
The Alabama Cooperative Extension System is offering a workshop on “Small Ruminant Health from A to Z,” including gastrointestinal parasitism management and FAMACHA training. The workshops are conducted at the beginning of the grazing and kidding season in early spring since this is the season when many health problems are more prevalent.
The objective of the workshops is to educate farmers, veterinarian practitioners, Extension agents, and other interested persons on:
•Best health management practices for small ruminants
•FDA-approved and non-approved parasite deworming methods to treat GI parasitism among goat and sheep herds, including the FAMACHA test developed by South African scientists
•McMaster technique of nematode fecal-egg identification and counting
•Life cycle of gastrointestinal worms
•Consequences of parasite-host interactions
In addition, FAMACHA cards will be available for purchasing.
The workshops are free; however, participants are encouraged to pre-register by calling the Houston County Extension Office at 334-794-4108, e-mail durwill@aces.edu or Dr. Maria Browning at (256) 372-4954. |
