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 ...

Copy number variant‐based genome wide association study reveals immune‐related genes associated with parasite resistance in a heritage sheep breed from the United States

Parasite Immunology, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Florida Native is a heritage sheep breed in the United States and expresses superior ability to regulate gastrointestinal nematodes. The objective of the present study was to investigate the importance of copy number variants (CNVs) on resistance to natural Haemonchus contortus infections.

Anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes in dairy calves within a pasture‐based production system of south West Western Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 100, Issue 7, Page 283-291, July 2022., 2022
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes among post‐weaned calves aged between 4 and 12 months old within a pasture‐based system of south west Australia and quantify the level of anthelmintic resistance. Pre‐treatment FECs were monitored on 14 dairy farms.

A Rare Case of Oral Papillomatosis in a Goat Kid

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The clinical management and outcome of a case of caprine papillomatosis in a 2‐week‐old kid goat was reported. Based on the PCR result, contagious ecthyma (CE) was ruled out. Based on the history and physical examination findings, the case was diagnosed as severe clinical case of papillomatosis in a goat’s kid. The treatment procedure was administrated
