Parasites are the #1 threat to the health of small ruminants worldwide and helping control them is the single biggest service you can provide to small ruminant owners. This series is perfect for you if you want to have real, workable answers when your clients come calling.
- Did you get a lot of parasitology in school but the application just wasn’t there? (Me too!)
- Does trying to select the right dewormer leave you frustrated?
- Are you seeing more and more small ruminants with parasite problems and just don’t know where to start in helping these herds clean up?
- Do you feel like the coccidia will just never end?
Inside The Small Ruminant Parasite Series, you’ll find:
- Anthelmintic Drug Selection and Use
In this module, you’ll walk away knowing all of the most important characteristics of each anthelmintic drug we have available to us so that you can select the right drug for your specific situation. You’ll be able to get the timing right and monitor for drug efficacy. You’ll be confident that you are selecting the right drug at the right time. Best part? I have included all species in this module – cattle, sheep, goats, and camelids, so you really do get a comprehensive view of when an how to use these drugs! This is one of my most popular modules.
- Herd Level Approach to Small Ruminant Parasites
After this module, you will know exactly what I look at when I work with a herd or flock with parasite problems, using real herd examples. We’ll discuss critical management areas and how to help clients understand concepts like refugia, environmental management and nutrition; you’ll know exactly how to address these to make sure the herds are maximally productive and their parasite program holds for the long haul. You’ll be able to determine when anthelmintic resistance is in play and when other factors are causing apparent treatment failures.
- Managing Ruminant Coccidiosis
You’ve had it with all the coccidia and all the cases that just keep coming back. Well, after this module, you will understand why it so often looks like treatment isn’t working (even when it is! You’ll get exactly what you need to know about how our preventative and treatment drugs work and the best ways and times to use them. I even address nervous coccidiosis and other potential sequelae. And, I’ve included all the species – cattle, sheep, goats, and camelids, so you get great information you can apply to all your livestock clients!
- BONUS! Anthelmintic Drug Selection and Use includes a chart of which drugs are approved and not approved for each anthelmintic for every livestock species!
- BONUS! Managing Ruminant Coccidiosis includes a chart of all the anticoccidial drugs and their approval status for all livestock species!
