Kreavet is the scientific coordinator of SPARC - the European Community of Practice on sustainable worm control.
SPARC aims to establish a dynamic network across Europe to increase the performance and the resilience of ruminant livestock farmers by widely disseminating best practices, tools and solutions for sustainable worm control.
By joining SPARC, you’ll gain free access to a network of European, national, and regional stakeholders, creating valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge and address challenges, needs, and opportunities in effective worm control. Engage with fellow farmers, vets and specialists to put these practices into action, and participate in workshops, on-farm demonstrations, and international learning exchanges.
