Summary
ParaBoss manages the websites WormBoss, FlyBoss and LiceBoss and leads the discussion, development and extension of national best practice and industry information, training and tools for parasite management of sheep and engages industry participation in this process. There was no such entity for the major animal health issues for goats of which worms are the most important parasite. This project was conducted to include goat specific information into WormBoss, providing goat producers and their advisors with access to a professional resource that will help improve worm control and the management of drench resistance in goats.
