Implement parasite control program

4

Solution

Develop a plan to manage common internal (worms) and external (mites, lice) parasites based on species and local risks.

Explanation

  • Internal: May involve regular fecal testing and targeted deworming (consult vet). Pasture rotation can help break parasite cycles for grazing animals like goats.
  • External: Regularly inspect animals for lice/mites. Provide dust bathing areas for chickens. Treat infestations with appropriate powders or sprays (ensure safe for food animals).

Notes

Consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and appropriate treatments, especially regarding withdrawal times for meat/milk/eggs.
