Parasite Patrol is a four-hour workshop designed to give sheep and goat producers a deeper understanding of what is happening inside their animals and how to respond effectively. Workshop participants walk through the life cycle of gastrointestinal nematodes, building critical awareness of when animals are most at risk, and explore how anthelmintic resistance develops and why many operations are seeing reduced dewormer effectiveness. The workshop is held in a different location each day. Some locations include an expanded training opportunity with FAMACHA certification.
