From Dr. Dan Hale:
We wanted to let you know that the accessible PDF version
of the New World Screwworm Field Guide for Beef Cattle Producers is
now available at this link https://agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/NWS-Beef-Cattle-Field-Guide-eqd.pdf.
This is intended to be a very
comprehensive and easy to read documents for our ranchers, with all the
important information regarding NWS in one place.
This Guide and our other factsheets are available on the
AgriLife Extension webiste at https://tx.ag/screwworm under
“Print Resources for Distribution.” The recently released pocket
guide is also available at that location.
The guide was developed as a practical reference for
identifying, responding to, and communicating about screwworm-related issues
with clientele and stakeholders. Thank you to Jason Smith and Jason Banta
for writing the Guide and MarComm for formatting it. It was reviewed by
several other Extension Specialists, Extension Veterinarians and personnel at
Texas Animal Health Commission.
In addition, we are currently working on a physical printed
copies of the Guide that will be professionally printed and
provided to you for distribution upon request. More information on
quantities and distribution plans will be shared as soon as they are available.
We hope to have them available at TCAAA.
Thank you for your continued efforts in educating producers,
partners, and communities. We encourage you to make use of these resources and
share them with your audiences as appropriate.
