It’s drench resistance, not a death sentence.
Join us at the Wairarapa Parasite Field Day, where we'll tackle drench resistance head-on to support the growth of healthy, high-performing livestock.
Hear straight from farmers who are actively managing drench resistance on their farms, and gain practical insights and fresh thinking on internal parasite control. This is a chance to learn what’s working on the ground and explore new tools and strategies to stay ahead of resistance.
You’ll learn what the Wairarapa pilot group uncovered through three years of farm-based learning, get firsthand experiences from farmers tackling parasite burdens, and hear new ideas including the innovative DAGI (Drench and Grazing Integration) tool for managing larvae on pasture.
