Start early getting your education credit for the fair 2027: Parasite Patrol: Sheep and Goat Producers are invited to an Intestinal Parasite Workshop in Outagamie County WI
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension is hosting “Parasite Patrol,” a workshop on intestinal parasite management for sheep and goat producers. The event will be held on Friday, September 25th from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the Osborn Town Hall, W3389 County Rd Ee, Seymour, WI, 54165.
Intestinal parasites in sheep and goats can significantly impact the health and performance of a flock or herd. From decreased production to a compromised immune system, sheep and goat owners of all types can struggle with high parasite loads. Extension colleagues are excited to share this workshop to equip producers with tools and strategies to help curb intestinal parasites in their flocks. Topics for this event include:
● Intestinal parasite life cycle
● Development of resistance
● Management strategies
● Hands-on experience with f***l egg counts (FEC) using a f***l sample from their animals.
Sheep and goat producers of any size flock or herd are welcome to attend, but pre-registration is required. This workshop will provide attendees with a greater understanding of intestinal parasite load, its effects, and how to treat it effectively. Participants will also be given a McMaster microscope slide and instructions on performing more at-home f***l egg counts.
Registration Details:
Registration for the event is $30 per person; registration includes the McMaster slide for at-home f***l egg counts and complete class materials.
