Barber Pole Worm Interview with Dr Scott Bowdridge of West Virginia University

Dr. Scott Bowdridge of West Virginia University graciously sat down with Backyard Green Films for an interview, where we discussed the dreaded Haemonchus contortus, aka the Barber Pole worm. Dr. Bowdridge's long-term study on the St. Croix sheep and their natural immune response to this parasite could help agricultural producers -- big and small -- figure out ways to combat this economically-devastating parasite. There are a few graphic photos of the worms and their effects (although brief).
