Livestock and Equine IPM Winter Webinars 2026: Dairy and Beef Cattle Internal Parasites IPM

Internal parasites such as stomach worms, coccidia, and lungworms can affect cattle health and productivity, especially in grazing systems. This webinar will provide tools for monitoring parasite loads, interpreting fecal egg counts and developing strategic deworming plans. Emphasis will be placed on integrated, data-driven approaches to control parasites while slowing the development of anthelmintic resistance.
