Webinar: Breeding worm tolerant sheep, Jan 2024

In this Innovative Farmers webinar, we hear from Matt Smith (Trefrank Farm, Cornwall) and Adam Hayward (Moredun Institute) about their Defra-funded pilot study, which aimed to understand whether variation in worm tolerance exists in UK sheep and to consider an alternative approach where farmers breed sheep more able to tolerate gastrointestinal worm burdens.
