Frequency of treatment and production performance using the FAMACHA method compared with preventive control in ewes

Veterinary Parasitology, 2009
The rapid escalation of anthelmintic resistance in parasites suggests the adoption of different strategies for parasite control in small ruminants instead of relying only on the use of chemicals. The integrated system of parasite control (SICOPA) program uses the FAMACHA method, which is used to separately identify sheep that are resistant/resilient or

Breeding options for nematode resistance in Lacaune dairy sheep

Animal, 2023
Due to progressing anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), supportive measures are needed to control these parasites. In sheep, it has been shown that selection towards an increased nematode resistance is feasible and that faecal egg

Association between FAMACHA scores and fecal egg counts in Katahdin lambs [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
The FAMACHA system was introduced to the U.S. just over 10 yr ago to allow selective deworming of lambs with anemia associated with and retard the development of anthelmintic resistance. The FAMACHA system was initially developed as a predictor of packed cell volume (PCV), but correlations between FAMACHA and fecal egg counts (FEC) have also been ...

Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Gastrointestinal Parasite Infections among Meat Goats in Khon Kaen Thailand. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
This study investigated the epidemiology of gastrointestinal (GI) parasite infections among 42 meat goat herds in Khon Kaen, Northeast Thailand, based on 913 fecal samples. The predominant parasites identified in the herd were strongyle (100.0%, 42/42), Trichuris spp. (73.8%, 31/42), Eimeria spp. (66.7%, 28/42), Moniezia spp.

Lack of efficacy of topical administration of eprinomectin against gastrointestinal nematode in a French dairy sheep farm: A case of underexposure of worms

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 10, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Resistance to eprinomectin was suspected in a dairy sheep farm in southwestern France. The efficacy of topical and injection formulations of eprinomectin against gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) was compared using a faecal egg count reduction test.
