We are announcing our Free Fecal Egg Count Analysis Program funded by USDA NESARE (Project: LNE 23-464) that will run from May through mid-September [2024]

The goal of this project is to assist with selective breeding for resistance against gastrointestinal worms through the generation of estimated breeding values (EBV) and the use of fecal egg counts in combination with FAMACHA© scoring.

Please see this flyer for more information.
