3.1 Common Parasites in Goats: Decoding the Silent Killers (Nico du Preez) 00.57.07
What is really happening inside your goats when they start losing weight, develop “bottle jaw,” or show pale eyes? This module strips away the mystery of internal parasites, giving you a highly visual, expert-led guide to identifying the most destructive species threatening your flock. From the deadly wireworm to silent production-drainers like brown stomach and bankrupt worms, you will understand exactly how these parasites exploit your pastures and damage your animals’ digestive tracts.
3.2 Advanced Parasite Management: Deworming Practises and Drugs (Nico du Preez) 01.10.42
Are internal parasites silently draining your goat herd’s potential—and your hard-earned profits? Blindly drenching with standard remedies is a dangerous gamble that fuels drug resistance and risks devastating losses..
3.3 Advanced Parasite Management: Microscope Theory and Diagnostics (Nico du Preez) 00.23.43
In this module, you’ll learn to read and understand what you will see under the microscope and cover the theory behind accurately identifying and monitoring parasite loads in your herd. Discover how to accurately decode microscopic threats, from stubborn wireworms to elusive coccidia, and learn how to interpret the numbers to make smarter treatment decisions.
3.4 Applied Theory: Large-Herd Parasite Management in the Real World (Antoinette Dry) 00.29.17
What happens when textbook theory collides with the chaotic reality of a massive herd? In this eyeopening session, Antoinette Dry breaks down the high-stakes balancing act of managing parasite loads at scale. You will discover how to create scaled-up protocols and how moving camps and clustering should correlate with the season and production stage to control parasites efficiently.
3.5 Practical Application: Kraal Cleaning & Field Diagnostics (Antoinette Dry) +-20min
Are you tired of watching treated goats walk straight back into a cycle of reinfection? This module consists of 2 parts of practical application of theoryIn part 1, Antoinette Dry takes you directly into the kraals to reveal the strategic secrets of breaking the parasite lifecycle on the ground. You will learn the precise, step-by-step physical protocols for sanitizing your pens, stripping away hidden threats, and setting up a highly efficient rotational system that actually works.
3.6 Practical Diagnostics: Faecal Flotation and McMaster Techniques (Nico du Preez) (+-15min)
Are you tired of guessing your herd’s parasite load? In this crucial practical session, Nico du Preez bridges the gap between science and farm management by showing you exactly how to execute both qualitative flotation and quantitative McMaster techniques.
