Organic meat sheep producers have a very limited array of efficient alternative drugs and limited access to synthetic drugs for controlling internal parasites. The use of targeted selective treatments, e.g., treating only the lambs that cannot cope with infection, would be of interest. The difficulty is to identify those lambs in need of treatment. FAMACHA© (based on an anaemia indicator) has been used with success in tropical areas where the bloodsucker worm Haemonchus contortus is the main gastrointestinal strongyle.

The creation of a professional degree in organic farming, known as an ABCD, is the result of the desire to provide training at the national level that is supported by the agriculture sector and that brings together the know-how of universities and higher education institutions specialised in agronomy and those of a network of teaching establishments specialised in technical education in the field. This degree aims at forming agents and advisors capable of working in a wide range of fields such as production, processing, distribution, control-certification and marketing. It is mainly intended for adults interested in career development and students who would like to further their education. Four training sites are involved and all teaching is done through a... |
