Making Worm Control in Grazing Ruminants Sustainable Together (Online SPARC EU Webinar)

INTRODUCTION 

SPARC is an active multi-actor network across Europe that collaborates to enhance the adoption of sustainable worm control practices in ruminant livestock farms. Our aim is to improve animal health, economic performance, and productivity while promoting environmental sustainability. National and international stakeholder networks share sustainable worm control practices among farmers, across borders, and production systems, creating a multi-actor community that develops solutions together. Through this first online EU webinar, the SPARC team and ambassadors will talk about:

  • how you can join and contribute to the network
  • what are sustainable practices?
  • the first results of the European assessment on farmer’s needs
  • how you can work with our Knowledge Exchange Platform
