CANCELLED – Free Shepherd Seminar – Selecting Sheep for Resistance to Internal Parasites with Susan Schoenian

Sorry, this seminar has been cancelled.

Worms have developed resistance to all dewormers. Alternative methods of parasite control are needed. Genetic selection is one of the most powerful tools available for controlling parasites in sheep flocks. In this seminar, you’ll learn how to select and breed sheep for improved resistance to worms.

Susan Schoenian is the recently retired Sheep and Goat Specialist for University of Maryland Extension. She has been with the university of Maryland since 1988. She is a member of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (wormx.info), maintains their web site, and has provided leadership for their Extension activities.
