  Goat and Sheep Parasite Workshop May 24 web posted April 30, 2008 PSA – Internal parasites are the primary cause of illness in sheep and goats, and these pests are becoming resistant to the medication products that are being used for their control. To help producers find alternatives, Clemson Extension is offering a goat and sheep parasite control seminar on May 24, 2008 from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm at the Laurens County Clemson Extension Office (214 W. Laurens Street, Laurens, SC). The seminar will focus on the FAMACHA Parasite Monitoring System. The FAMACHA System was developed in response to parasites developing resistance to parasite control medication. The most economically important internal parasite in goats and sheep is a blood feeder, Haemonchus contortus (barber pole worm). Animals infected with barber pole worms will develop anemia. The FAMACHA system scores the amount of redness in the eyelids as a method to determine the degree of anemia. This is used to identify the animals that will benefit from treatment. Mr. Bob Storey with the University Of Georgia College Of Veterinary Medicine will be the featured speaker for the seminar. Participants will learn why parasites develop resistance, how to use the FAMACHA system to score live animals, and using the scores to make parasite treatment decisions. In addition to parasite control there will be sessions on proper forage selection and utilization for goats and sheep. Registration is required for the seminar. Cost is $35 per person if registration is received by May 8, 2008. Late registration will be $45 if received after May 8, 2008. Lunch and handouts are included in the registration fee. Directions to the Laurens County Clemson Extension Office are available on the web at www.clemson.edu/laurens.
