A new fact sheet has been published in the Best Management Practices to Control Internal Parasites in Small Ruminants series. It is entitled "On-Farm Selection for Resistance to Parasites." It was written by Dr. James Morgan from Roundtop Consulting in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The fact sheet is especially relevant for producers whose flocks/herds are not enrolled in a national genetic evaluation program, such as NSIP (National Sheep Improvement Program; nsip.org).
Earlier this year, the Global Animal Welfare Award of the World Veterinary Association was presented to Dr. Gareth Bath. Dr. Bath is a Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Pretoria (in South Africa).
Dr. Bath has been involved in some major international projects involving parasite control. He is a foreign member (international collaborator) of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (ACSRPC).
