FECPAK Training events

During March we will be holding FECPAK training events, offering an ideal opportunity to see exactly how to use the FECPAK and to see if it is of value to you. You will also be able to chat to existing FECPAK users who will also be attending.

The training day will cover topics such as parasite lifecycles and new worm control strategies as well as a practical session on using the FECPAK system. Although the day is mostly geared towards livestock producers, equine clients would also benefit from attending – especially for the afternoon session on practical faecal egg counting.

If you would like to attend one of the dates please fill in the reply slip indicating how many people will be attending and return it by fax, email or post. The cost of the course is £50 + VAT per person, please enclose a cheque made payable to ‘Innovis Ltd’. The training fee is refundable should you decide to buy a FECPAK within 3 months of the event*.

We will be at the following locations on these dates:

Larkmead Vets, Ilges Lane, Cholsey, Oxon, OX10 9PA – 2nd March 2012
Barony College, Parkgate, Dumfries, DG1 3NE – 6th March 2012
IBERS, Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, SY23 3EB – 8th March 2012

If you have any queries about the training event please either call the office on 01970 828236 or email enquiries@innovis-aber.org.uk.
