Worming out the facts - Parasite Management Workshop Event Ticket

Workshop focus
Resistance to dewormers is a serious issue for our horse community. The impact of
declining drug efficacy is already evident locally. While the science is clear, much
of it isn’t reaching the people who need it most. We should be shifting our attitude
to worms and how we manage them. These parasite management workshops are
designed to share practical, research-backed information and recommendations,
so the whole horse community can work together to slow the development of
drug-resistant parasites.

Overview of common worm species infecting horses, their lifecycles, impact on equine health and prevalence of worm infections.

Drug responses and resistance in Victoria; how common equine worms respond to deworming treatments.

Current guidelines for equine parasite management, recommended practices for effective parasite control.

Hands-on learning opportunity. Participants have the chance to perform (or observe) a faecal egg count (FEC) using a sample from their own horse.
