Guidance on parasite control for farmers

The National Animal Disease Information Service, NADIS, has launched a parasite con-trol pack to help vets engage with farmers. The pack includes a local monthly para-site forecast for farmers; interactive parasite control planners for cattle and sheep and pres-entations that can be used at farmer meetings. Practices can sign up to receive monthly alerts and forecasts by area, which can be personalised and forwarded to farmers by e-mail. These will include nematodirus and fluke forecasts that can be used in conjunc-tion with the parasite control planners. The planners allow vets and farmers to work together to produce a yearly plan for parasite control, encouraging optimal man-agement and treatment strategies. Highly visual and easy to use, they can be used to complement existing health plans or to engage farmers who don’t currently have health plans.
