Description

FAMACHA is a method for measuring the level of anemia in small ruminants (sheep and goats) and camelids caused by the barber pole worm. FAMACHA scores can be utilized, along with other management practices, in making decisions about parasite control methods. At the end of this training you'll be certified in the correct FAMACHA method and receive your own FAMACHA score card. This workshop will be divided into two segments: classroom education and hands-on learning. Both components are mandatory to satisfy requirements for FAMACHA certification. We will begin our workshop at Pitt County Cooperative Extension office. Classroom education: Pitt County Cooperative Extension 403 Government Circle, Suite 2 Greenville, NC 27834 Hands-on learning: Tar River Ranch 3090 Old River Rd Greenville, NC 27834
