Australia's resource for control of worms, flies and lice in sheep, |
This quick quiz tests your knowledge of sheep and goat parasites and their control.
1. Why do ewes in late pregnancy and early lactation develop much higher worm burdens than when they are dry, or in early to mid-term pregnancy?
2. What are two tests you could use to detect liver fluke in goats?
3. In winter rainfall environments, what are the 2 major causes of scouring and dags?
4. Why is managing lice easier if just one whole of flock shearing is conducted rather than using split shearings?
If you provide complimentary or paid worm egg counting services, then this program is for you.
About 60 people are already listed to take part so that they can demonstrate they perform accurate services for industry.
ParaBoss will also be providing ongoing endorsement and promotion of successful participants. The 2019 round will be in September; register your interest now. >> Read more.

If you don’t routinely use worm egg counts, it's time to reconsider. >> Webinar details.
Areas of the sheep country are still incredibly dry, and producers are off-loading stock. In other regions, sufficient moisture and ongoing mild temperatures, morning dews, and heavy grazing of the short green pick are prolonging the summer worm season.
