FAMACHA online training course is coming soon!!
FAMACHA scoring is an invaluable tool for identifying anaemia in small ruminants and camelids and therefore is used to aid dectection of Haemonchus (barbers pole worm) infestation and guide selective treatment. While there are other causes of anaemia, Haemonchus is a biggie over summer season.
