SUMMARY:Using pasture management for worm control
DESCRIPTION:Join the ParaBoss extension team as we deep dive into a topic that is very timely across much of Australia. Understanding and minimising the contamination of pastures with worm larvae is an important tool for managing worms in our livestock. The cooler months present the optimal time to reduce the larval load on pastures thereby preparing them for our most vulnerable livestock. \nDr Fiona Macarthur will explore aspects of the lifecycle of parasites and how we can manipulate them on farm to reduce the number of larvae on pastures to: \n\nsafeguard livestock\,\nreduce reliance on chemical intervention\, and thus\,\nthe onset of chemical resistance.\n\nWe look forward to you joining us for what will be an informative overview\, along with some excellent signposts to tools that you can use. \nThere will be ample time for questions\, so we encourage you to ask. \nAs always\, we encourage you to send in any questions to extension@paraboss.com.au or ask them real-time in the webinar! \nRegister today.

SUMMARY:Controlling buffalo flies and fly lesions: What have we learned?
DESCRIPTION:Join the ParaBoss extension team as we take you on a journey to minimise the impact that buffalo flies have in your herds. \nBuffalo flies are now ranked as the costliest health issue in Australia’s northern cattle industries and are extending their range into southern production areas. \nThey cause reductions in weight gain and milk production loss\, decrease skin quality and have been suggested to disrupt mating and reduce ease of management through the substantial irritation caused by their bites. \nLesions associated with buffalo fly infestation are also an important issue\, causing rejection of cattle from some markets and decreased value in the saleyards. \nDr Peter James will delve deep into issues in the management of buffalo flies and lesions and the implications of outcomes from recent research. \nWe look forward to you joining us for what will be an informative overview\, along with some excellent signposts to tools that you can use. \nThere will be ample time for questions\, so we encourage you to ask. \nAs always\, we encourage you to send in any questions to extension@paraboss.com.au or ask them real-time in the webinar! \nRegister today.

SUMMARY:Keeping Coccidiosis at bay - in sheep\, cattle and goats
DESCRIPTION:It’s winter\, and now is when we see Coccidiosis in our flocks and herds. Coccidiosis can cause significant losses in your herds and flocks. \nYou hear a lot of talk about ‘Coxie’ causing disease in livestock\, but what is it? \nThis parasite more formally called ‘coccidiosis’\, affects young sheep\, cattle and goats\, plus a range of other animal species\, including pigs and chooks. As well as death and sickness\, Coxie can slow growth rates in young stock. Sometimes undiagnosed stock losses may be due to Coxie. \nAlthough seen most often over the winter months\, Coxie is present in normal flocks and herds all year round\, and when conditions are right\, Coccidia will proliferate and cause disease. \nJoin the ParaBoss team as we explore this parasite\, which conditions give rise to its proliferation and disease\, what the signs and symptoms of disease are and its impacts on sheep\, cattle and goats. We will also discuss what steps you can take to minimise its impact in your stock. \nThere will be ample time for questions\, so we encourage you to ask. \nAs always\, we encourage you to send in any questions to extension@paraboss.com.au or ask them real-time in the webinar! \nRegister today.
