Camels have recently been recognised as one of Australia’s Emerging Industries, seeing an increase in the numbers of camel owners and semi-intensive animal systems.
The single biggest cause of death in camels regardless of management system is related to parasitism.
Parasite control forms the cornerstone of veterinary management…and it is NOT the same as it is for other livestock species. This webinar will provide camel specific advice on parasite management of camels.
