Best Management Practices to Control Internal Parasites in Small Ruminants Fact Sheet Series
The new Best Management Practices to Control Internal Parasites in Small Ruminants Fact Sheets Series is designed to help sheep, goat, and camelid producers manage gastro-intestinal parasitism in their flocks and herds. The fact sheets were also developed as an educational resource for people teaching FAMACHA© workshops and similar educational programs.
Each fact sheet was being written by a member of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control and reviewed by 3 or 4 other consortium members, including a veterinarian parasitologist.
