Increasingly farmers are looking for alternatives to, or being asked to reduce reliance on, synthetic wormers, flukicides, fly and tick repellents, lice and mite treatments etc. All of these are expensive, have withdrawal periods due to toxicity, can create resistance in the pest we are trying to eradicate, and have a detrimental impact on soil health (not to mention the health of our stock or our own health).
This recorded live webinar brings together two wholistic farm experts - homeopathic vet, Chris Aukland and medical herbalist, Kate Scott - who between them combine over 50 years' experience in using natural medicine approaches to tackle the serious problem of livestock parasites and pests.
Chris and Kate also have extensive experience, respectively, in conventional veterinary and human medical practice, so they are uniquely qualified in an integrative approach, while Kate has a unique heritage, descending from generations of herbalists and drovers.
Suitable for:
All livestock farmers seeking a more natural approach to the prevention and treatment of pests and parasites.
