Online Small Ruminant Fecal Sampling and Parasite Control Class
- Thursday, May 21, 2020, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Parasites are the most important limiting factor in small ruminant flocks. Join Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County’s Livestock Educator, Jason Detzel, to learn how to monitor, treat and prevent parasites in your flock.
Jason will discuss the lifecycle and biology of parasites affecting small ruminants, and he will demonstrate how to perform fecal sampling to obtain egg counts, a simple procedure you can do at home to approximate the parasite load your sheep or goats are carrying. Parasitic egg counts help you to make decisions on the effectiveness of your deworming program.
At the completion of the course, you will have monthly access to our microscope to analyze your own animal’s fecal samples for a small fee.
