Organic livestock survey aims to learn about parasite management

UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and UC Cooperative Extension are conducting a survey for cattle, sheep or goat producers that are certified organic, in transition to be certified or implementing organic practices. The goal is to learn about dewormer drugs used and integrated parasite management practices and their perceived efficacy. 

Survey results will help to identify critical areas that need additional research or extension services related to parasites management in organic production.  The questionnaire takes 10-15 minutes to complete. The provided information will not include any identification beyond regional location and will be kept strictly confidential. 

More information about the Farm Animal Risk Mitigation Prepare, Prevent, Evaluate project and webinars can be found at the FARM PPE website. 

The deadline for participating in the organic livestock survey has been extended to May 31. The survey link is https://ucdavis.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_77pA9H94xKMA27s.
