… We are exploring the use of a farm systems optimisation model to improve parasite management in sheep and cattle while reducing drench resistance. If successful, this model could provide farmers with a strategic tool to evaluate different management strategies. … Background Beef + Lamb New Zealand is investigating whether the PRISYM model can help us design … the risk of drench resistance. This initiative aims to provide farmers with a strategic tool to enhance parasite management on their farms. We’ll analyse how the PRISYM model can simulate the effects of drench resistance within farm …
