Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Launches Community Education on Screwworms
June 16, 2026 - 04:04
The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is set to engage communities across Texas in June with a series of informative events centered on the New World screwworm. These events aim to raise awareness about the impact of this pest on livestock and the agricultural sector, providing essential information to farmers and ranchers.
The New World screwworm is a significant threat to animal health, as it can cause severe infestations in livestock. By educating local communities, the AgriLife Extension Service hopes to equip residents with the knowledge needed to identify and manage potential infestations effectively.
Participants will learn about the life cycle of the screwworm, its effects on animals, and best practices for prevention and control. The initiative underscores the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding Texas's agricultural resources. Through these educational efforts, the AgriLife Extension aims to foster a collaborative approach to pest management, ensuring that communities are well-prepared to tackle this challenge.
