We all know about drench resistance in our sheep – but what about in our cattle?
Drench resistance in cattle is fast looming as our next big challenge. This workshop is tailored to help you manage drench resistance in your cattle. It will cover key strategies and the latest research on internal parasite control for cattle farming.
This workshop is for anyone with cattle – weaner calves, dairy heifer grazing or breeding cows; whether you’re a trading or breeding system, this is for you.
You’ll learn about the integrated parasite management system and how to balance parasite control with drench resistance, empowering you to make informed decisions that suit your farm’s system.

Facilitated by Simon Marshall of Vet Services in Dannevirke, the workshop will cover:
- The worm life cycle in cattle
- Managing worms in cattle
- The role of refugia in parasite control
- Integrated livestock management and its role in parasite control
- Strategies for managing drench resistance in cattle herds.
