\"Cornell\"<\/a>Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison is pleased to offer a day-long program for sheep and\u00a0goat producers in Central New York. Join us Saturday, June 11,\u00a0from 10 a.m. 3 p.m. at the\u00a0Madison County Cornell Cooperative Extension office located at 100 Eaton St., Morrisville.<\/p>\n

Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. The program is $25 per person and includes all\u00a0materials, including an FAMACHA Anemia Guide and lunch.<\/p>\n

Each additional farm member is\u00a0$10 a person and lunch will be provided. Registration is available online at https:\/\/reg.cce.cornell.edu\/FAMACHA_225.<\/p>\n

One of the greatest challenges for sheep and goat producers is preventing and controlling internal\u00a0parasites in their animals. This training will be presented by Dr. Tatiana Luisa Stanton, Small\u00a0Ruminant Extension Specialist at Cornell University and Betsy Hodge, Livestock Educator at St.\u00a0Lawrence County Cornell Cooperative Extension.<\/p>\n

This training begins with the basics of parasite\u00a0life cycles and delves into how to better manage sheep and goats to prevent related infections.\u00a0Internal parasites (gastro-intestinal worms) are the number one health problem affecting sheep\u00a0and goats in much of the United States.<\/p>\n

This workshop is designed to help producers develop\u00a0integrated parasite management (IPM) programs for their farms. In addition to teaching the\u00a0basics of internal parasite control, the workshop will provide hands-on training in using the\u00a0FAMACHA Anemia Guide (good only for the barber pole worm), and health exams to\u00a0determine the need for de-worming.<\/p>\n

We will also learn to use microscopes to do fecal worm egg evaluations. Participants will receive\u00a0a laminated FAMACHA Guide and handouts on IPM in sheep and goats. We will provide\u00a0microscopes for the fecal worm egg identification and counting activity; however, participants\u00a0are welcome to bring a refrigerated fecal sample from one of their animals. You may also bring\u00a0your own microscope if you have one.<\/p>\n
