American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control

​Best Management Practices to Control Internal Parasites in Small Ruminants Factsheet Series

The Best Management Practices to Control Internal Parasites in Small Ruminants Factsheet series was 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/or similar educational programs.  Each factsheet was written by a member of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control and  reviewed by 3-4 other consortium members (or experts), including a veterinarian parasitologist.  In 2022, the consortium began translating the factsheets into Spanish.
