The Eastern Alpaca Group invites you to the second of three presentations this winter starting on Saturday 9th January 2021 @ 7pm. We hope you will tune in and join us with these short presentations which are open to non-members as well as EAG members
Parasitology: Presented by Ami Sawran
Join us for a Zoom webinar to learn about protecting your alpacas from harm from parasites. A presentation followed by a Q & A session. This talk will give an overview of the threats that parasites pose to your herd. We will discuss clinical signs to alert you to a potential burden, and shed light on your options for diagnosis, treatment and control of parasites. We will touch on both internal and external parasites and hope to highlight the importance of vigilance and diagnostic testing in your alpacas.
Saturday 9th January 2021 at 7pm
Waiting room open from 6.50pm
£24 for EAG members. £30 for non members

She is currently clinical director of Westpoint Farm Vets in Chelmsford. Ami is very enthusiastic about camelid medicine, and is working towards her advanced certificate in camelid practice.
