Shetland Crofting Discussion Group – Parasitic Resistance
Anthelmintic resistance in ruminants and how & when we use worming treatments is changing fast.
The continued efficacy of treatments hinges on everyone using existing treatments appropriately. Come along to this event where nematode expert, Dave Bartley of the Moredun Institute will give a talk on sustainable management of worms and Karis Johnson from Shetland Vets will give us an insight into where we are at in Shetland and what you should be doing to best manage parasites on your croft or farm.
Booking is essential.
