When the drugs don't work: Strategies to reduce gastrointestinal parasites in sheep
Presented by: Dr. Talia Fletcher, Veterinarian, Markdale Veterinary Services
Struggling with internal parasites? You are not alone! Internal parasites are one the biggest challenges when we keep sheep on pasture in Ontario. In this session Dr. Talia Fletcher will review the life cycle of the main parasites and how that influences your pasture and management plans. She will also review some testing strategies and look to future tests on the horizon. Attendees can expect to also learn about genetic selection, pasture management, multi species grazing, and pasture plants. The goal of this session is to help you think of strategies that can help on your personal farm and what changes can have the biggest impact.
Dr. Talia Fletcher is a mixed animal veterinarian working in Grey and Bruce County who has a special interest in regenerative agriculture, small ruminants and pasture management. At Markdale Veterinary Services, Talia works with a large variety of animals and enjoys developing flock and herd management plans. Talia and her husband Simon practice intensive grazing with their sheep flock as they revitalize their no-longer-abandoned farm. Outgoing, enthusiastic and engaging, Talia is an experienced presenter who loves to share ideas with interested participants.
