Calling all Cattle Producers!

Asian longhorned ticks are a growing concern for cattle producers. Large infestations can stress cattle and contribute to blood loss, poor performance, and anemia. These ticks can also transmit bovine theileriosis, a disease that damages red blood cells and may cause weakness, abortions, reduced productivity, and, in some cases, death.

Join us for an upcoming webinar to learn how to:
🔎 Identify Asian longhorned ticks and recognize potential problems
🩸 Understand bovine theileriosis and its impacts on cattle
📬 Properly submit tick samples
🐄 Monitor your herd for signs of infestation
🛡️ Implement practical strategies to reduce risk
