Pasture poultry, a system where birds are raised in open fields, is an emergent and sustainable farming method. It allows the birds to roam freely, forage for insects and plants, and enjoy a more natural lifestyle. However, like any farming practice, pasture poultry has its challenges, one significant concern for farmers being the presence of parasites. In this episode, Dr. Maria Terra-Long discusses her research on parasites affecting poultry farms and emphasizes how managing the risks associated with these parasites can support the well-being and productivity of pasture-raised poultry.
“There are a lot of things that are involved whenever you're trying to control diseases and there is no silver bullet for them. It really is about focusing on trying to do your best in all of the different segments." -  Dr. Maria Terra-Long
