Veterinary Parasitology, 2009 Infections with gastrointestinal nematodes, in particular Haemonchus contortus, are worldwide one of the most important factors causing high economic losses in sheep production. Different methods for detecting infections with H. contortus have been described, such as, e.g. the FAMACHA system, which categorises the colour of the conjunctivae from red to

Relationships between FAMACHA© scores and parasite incidence in sheep and goats
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2021One of the most important activities in animal raising is parasite control. Since parasites share what animals eat on one hand, they have disease-causing effects on the other hand, they are parasites that must be fought. In fact, they can be responsible for the decrease in yield and can also cause death.

FAMACHA© System Assessment by Previously Trained Sheep and Goat Farmers in Brazil
Veterinary Parasitology, 2015The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of adoption and the correct use of the FAMACHA© system amongst sheep and goat farmers trained in a previous hands-on course. A survey was carried out with 1375 people who received FAMACHA© training from July 2009 to May 2011 in Paraná State, Brazil.

Sensitivity and Specificity of the FAMACHA© System in Suffolk Sheep and Crossbred Boer Goats
Veterinary Parasitology, 2012Sheep and goats are the species of farm animal with the highest growth rate in Paraná State. The main problems facing Paraná State flocks are gastrointestinal parasites and anthelmintic resistance. One of the newest resources used to slow down the development of anthelmintic resistance is the FAMACHA(©) system, a selective method useful for controlling

Validation of the FAMACHA© System in South American Camelids
Veterinary Parasitology, 2017Haemonchus contortus resistant to multiple anthelmintics threaten the viability of the small ruminant industry in areas where this parasite is prevalent. In response to this situation, the FAMACHA© system was developed and validated for use with small ruminants as a way to detect clinical anemia associated with haemonchosis. Given that H. contortus and

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.

Evaluation of the FAMACHA System for Detecting the Severity of Anaemia in Sheep From Southern Italy
Veterinary Parasitology, 2009Since it was first developed in South Africa, the FAMACHA system has been successfully tested in different geographic area where Haemonchus contortus is the major gastrointestinal (GI) strongyle species of sheep. The present study, the first on the use of the FAMACHA system in Italy, was aimed at obtaining a complete haematological profile in sheep ...

Fecal Egg Count and FAMACHA Score in Ewes
2023Parasitic nematodes present a major cause of economic loss that impacts the sheep industry worldwide. The collection of scientific data from different regions and the introduction of reliable diagnostic methods can provide the instruments for control especially now when the situation is complicated by increased prevalence and development of ...

Sensitivity and specificity of the FAMACHA© system in tropical hair sheep
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2019The aim of this research was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the FAMACHA© (F©) system in Morada Nova ewes. The conjunctivae of 562 ewes were evaluated using the F© system. Packed cell volume (PCV) served as the gold standard for clinical F© evaluation. To calculate the sensitivity and specificity of the F© system, different criteria were

Veterinary Parasitology, 2014
Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) are a challenge to goat production globally causing reduced growth, morbidity and mortality. We report here results of the first nation-wide anthelmintic resistance (AR) study and validation of assessment of clinical anaemia with FAMACHA eye scores in goats in Uganda.
