Faecal Egg Count course

Hands-on training to help you detect and manage internal parasites in your livestock, including faecal sampling, microscope analysis, and worm control strategies.

Event details:

Internal parasites are a constant issue for livestock. This practical course, hosted by Hunter Local Land Services, will help you build your knowledge and skills in internal parasite management - including how to take faecal samples and analyse them under the microscope.

These skills will enable you to determine if you have a worm issue in your stock and plan how to manage and control it moving forward.

Places are limited due to the number of microscopes available.

The session will also include information about the introduction of eID NLIS ear tags for sheep and goats, outlining the mandatory requirements for small ruminant producers.

Additional details:

• Please arrive 9:00 am for 9:30 am start.

• A light lunch will be provided following the session.
