He has a special interest in livestock parasite diagnostics and anthelmintic resistance.
Worms have a major impact on the health, welfare and productivity of beef cattle herds and as they live in the internal organs, they can be difficult for farmers to see, diagnose and control.
The full impact of worm burdens is not always fully understood despite their negative effect on production and the economic benefits of worm control.
This free webinar will provide updates on the most recent advances in diagnostic methods and how these have made testing more accurate, faster and cheaper.
Producers can join the evening session via their phone and/or computer, tablet or smartphone, and will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues with Mr Playford following his presentation.
The webinar, which is supported by Meat and Livestock Australia, is on Wednesday, June 10 from 7.30pm to 8.30pm.
