Assessment of a hands-on method for FAMACHA© system training [PDF]
Veterinary Parasitology, 2014 The FAMACHA(©) system is a method for selective anthelmintic treatment comprising early detection of haemonchosis in sheep and goats. In order to evaluate the hands-on training methodology and the learning level of the participants, we analyzed data from 30 training events involving 47 training classes conducted in the State of Paraná, Brazil, from ...

The effect of application of the FAMACHA© system on selected production parameters in sheep [PDF]
Small Ruminant Research, 2013 Abstract Much research has gone into developing a sustainable management tool for haemonchosis, namely the FAMACHA© system, which has been validated by numerous studies worldwide. However, the financial implications on production of implementing this system have not been fully investigated in sheep previously.
