*UPCOMING WEBINAR* The Ins and Outs of Parasite Management

Both internal and external parasites can affect the health, welfare and production of a beef cattle herd. Not only can livestock parasites impact grazing behaviour and cause irritation and stress, but they can also transmit various livestock diseases.

This live webinar for beef cattle producers and veterinary teams will cover the best way to approach the management of internal and external parasites in a typical production year to ensure the health of a herd and to avoid resistance.  

Register for the live March 19th webinar to hear from our panelists: Dr. John Gilleard, University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and Dr. Carling Matejka, Veterinary Agri-Health Services. A continuing education credit is available for this webinar.
