Cattle Parasite Management Workshop – Pilot 4

Understanding the pressing need for targeted, effective on-farm parasite management solutions for northern cattle operations, the ParaBoss extension team has custom-designed one-day workshops aimed at empowering producers by improving the management of external and internal parasites in cattle herds in the north.

Due to the ongoing wet season conditions, buffalo fly, and cattle tick are particularly problematic at present, and this workshop covers these important parasites in detail and allows workshop attendees to consider their control activities within the context of the complete suite of parasites local to their area.

Following the successful parasite management in cattle workshops in 2023 and early 2024, this new workshop will aim to enhance attendees’ knowledge based on the extensive feedback provided in 3 pilots.

Attendance is free of charge, and all workshop resources and catering will be supplied on the day. Places are limited to ensure excellent interaction between presenters and attendees.

We look forward to you joining us at the pilot. Please register here: https://bit.ly/4ag0Mk0

The workshop will facilitate:

• An improvement in overall skills and confidence of cattle producers in their understanding of internal and external parasite management
• Improve access by producers to key sources of information
• Less production losses/mortality from parasites in herds
• Increased effectiveness of parasiticides and drenches
• Decreased impacts of chemical resistance in all parasites

RSVP is essential – and the workshop numbers will be capped. Attendees will be registered on a first-in, best-dressed basis.
