08 March 2012This Soil Association event will bring together specialists to help farmers improve returns from organic cattle and sheep production. Following the success of the “Understanding Soil” event held last year, delegate feedback highlighted a clear interest in developing a better understanding of internal and external parasites in organic cattle and sheep systems, including information on management practices to reduce treatments and avoid anthelmintic resistance. "Internal parasite control in sheep is one of the most important aspects of maintaining flock health, productivity, and the value of the finished lamb. Managing parasites on all farms starts with the same principles - thorough planning of the sheep system and grazing but also careful use of anthelmintics to promote immunity and avoid resistance to wormer active ingredients. Events such as these are immensely valuable both to inform and remind producers of the basic principles and most up to date guidance" Phil Stocker, Chief Executive at the National Sheep Association. We welcome all farmers and interested parties to attend. Date: THURSDAY 8 MARCH Venue: GREENMOUNT CAMPUS, CO. ANTRIM Time: 10 – 4PM approximately Tickets cost £20 (plus VAT) for producer members and £35 (plus VAT) for non-producer members*. Advanced bookin... |
