Next Breeder Briefings Webinars Announced

The TBA has launched the next four webinars in the Breeder Briefings series, which will continue to feature subject-matter experts on a range of pertinent topics to support members in their breeding enterprises.

The upcoming episode will be hosted by TBA Chief Executive, Naomi Mellor, who will be joined by Laura Peachy, Associate Professor of Parasitology, and Paul Overton, an agronomist specialising in equine pasture management, with further sessions planned for October, November and December this year.

The webinars will start at 6pm and run for 45 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A session. The Breeder Briefings on worming and Paddock Management will look at practical strategies for reducing worm burden through effective paddock management and the topics include:

  • manure collection and its role in breaking parasite lifecycles,
  • the benefits of cross-species grazing,
  • protocols for isolating and testing new arrivals before they join the herd
  • importance of diagnostic testing in guiding targeted worming decisions
  • paddock recovery following dry/hot conditions
