There are only so many dewormers available. And doesn't look like there are new ones on the horizon. So, how do we keep from losing all hope in the dewormers on the market? Breed genetically resistant animals! Genetics is our only route to decreasing our dependency on dewormers that are quickly becoming ineffective. Dr. Andrew Weaver, North Caronlina State University, helps us to understand how genetics can impact parasite resistance in our flocks and herds.
Parasite management can be really frustrating at times, but knowing tips and tools of the trade can alleviate more surprises and money spent on dewormers.
