September 2nd, 2011
FAIRFIELD, MAINE — University of Maine Cooperative Extension is partnering with sheep and goat associations in the state to present the Sheep and Goat Internal Parasites Seminar on Saturday, October 22, 2011from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Kennebec Community College in Fairfield, Maine.
This educational event will feature Maryland’s Small Ruminant Specialist Susan Schoenian and is designed to equip producers with skills and knowledge about the identification and management of internal parasites. “Parasites are the biggest health problem for sheep and goats in Maine,” says UMaine Extension Educator Richard Brzozowski. “Parasites of sheep and goats are costly and can easily put someone out of business. For an efficient and profitable sheep or goat enterprise, parasite control needs to be deliberate and persistent.”
