Warkworth hosts Wormwise workshop
The latest tips and techniques for controlling internal parasites in sheep and beef will be presented at a talk in Warkworth on Tuesday, February 23.
The Wormwise workshop will cover the life cycle of worms, drenching options, how to manage drench resistance, and refugia – the practice of leaving some worms untreated in a bid to slow drug resistance.
Guest speaker will be Ginny Dodunski, from Totally Vets, which has branches in Fielding, Awapuni and Taumarunui, and the day is being hosted by Beef + Lamb New Zealand.
Extension manager for the northern North Island Veronica Gillet says managing internal parasites is one of the biggest challenges farmers face.
