Do you keep sheep ? You can find out if they have worms or parasites by carrying out a faecal egg count.
It is well documented that farmers need to reduce their reliance on sheep wormers as continued use over a long period of time will reduce the effectiveness of the wormer used and the parasites and worms become resistant.
By attending this course, you can learn how detecting and controlling the problem can help save you time and money.
