Prevent and monitor parasite loads in your small herd or flock.

 

Parasite management is one of a shepherd’s greatest concerns during the grazing months. With the increase of resistance to deworming medications, it is important that shepherds find practical ways to manage parasite infestation while sheep are on pasture.

Through this ebook you will learn:

• symptoms of parasite infestation.
• easy and practical ways to prevent and monitor parasite infestations.
• an step-by-step illustrated guide to testing your own fecal samples using a McMaster slide and a microscope.

During the 15 years that I have owned sheep, I have taken numerous workshops on parasite control. I have received training in the FAMACHA system of monitoring flockhealth, as well as training in sampling fecals for parasites. I monitor our  flock closely during the grazing months by doing monthly fecal sample tests using a McMaster slide. In doing so, I am able to pinpoint the exact sheep who have high parasite loads and only those animals. This ebook is a compilation of several blog posts I have written about parasite management over the past several years. Now you will have all the information in one place. I have also included a bonus for you!

Bonus: Fecal Test Result Charts

The back of the ebook has fillable charts for tracking fecal test results so that you can collect data throughout the grazing season.

Once you have your management plan in place, you will be on your way to raising healthier sheep with fewer parasite problems.

Don’t let another grazing season go by without an effective parasite management plan in place. Get your copy before summer grazing begins! This ebook will make managing parasites easier and will also provide you with fillable pages to record your flock’s fecal egg count results month by month.
