Operating a mixed arable and livestock farm in Southland? Looking for practical steps to effectively manage parasites in your sheep flock?
FAR and B+LNZ are joining forces again to welcome you to this practical Wormwise workshop focused on parasite management tailored to arable farmers who have sheep and beef as part of their operation. Learn how to respond effectively with strategies that go beyond routine drenching, including improved monitoring, pasture management, and breeding.
Lunch and refreshments provided.
What will we cover?
Maximise the benefits of having stock as part of your arable system. Every season we are seeing higher worm burdens, especially in young stock – putting pressure on animal health, performance, and farm productivity.
With a focus on reducing drench resistance and protecting future productivity, this workshop provides guidance and tools you can apply immediately and in in future months.
Don’t miss this opportunity to build healthier, more resilient stock – register today and take control of the worm challenge.
