Fecal egg counts are done to determine the worm load in animals and it has many uses in a parasite control program. They can be used to estimate the parasite load in an animal, show the level of pasture infestation, determine effectiveness of dewormers, and evaluate parasite resistance in animals. This workshop will provide hands-on training so you can become more efficient at monitoring your own sheep and goats!! This class is $25.00 and the fee will need to be paid in cash or check at the venue.
