Archive of Timely Topics

Since August 2013, more than sixty (60) Timely Topics have been published to the web site of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (ACSRPC). The articles were written mostly by members of the consortium and covered a variety of topics. Of course, all topics pertained to internal parasite control in small ruminants. Some of the Timely Topics are available as fact sheets (PDF format).  In 2022, the consortium began translating some of these Timely Topics into Spanish.
