This summer workshop will give farmers an insight into ruminant pest and parasite management on their pastures and farms. Ed Pitcavage and Isabelle Lourie-Wisbaum, land and livestock managers at Philo Ridge Farm, will share their experiences grazing cattle and sheep to achieve optimal pest and parasite control, as well as how they have managed winter lice populations using botanical treatments.
We will hear from UVM Extension Grazing Specialist Amber Reed, Extension Dairy Specialist Kelsie Meehan, and UVM Postdoctoral Research Fellow Bryony Sands, who will discuss ways that grazing management, alternative approaches, and IPM techniques can benefit livestock pest and parasite control for cattle and small ruminants.
The event is free and please reserve your spot online.
