Morbidity Parameters Associated with Gastrointestinal Tract Nematodes in Sheep in Dabat District, Northwest Ethiopia

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections of sheep and their interaction with selected morbidity parameters were studied in smallholder farms. 120 faecal samples were collected and examined using faecal flotation to determine nematode infection in sheep. Thus, the study demonstrated overall prevalence of 57.5% GIN infections, while the mean faecal egg

Transtracheal Wash Fluid Collection and Analysis in Healthy Goats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Transtracheal wash (TTW) is frequently used to characterize respiratory disease in companion animals, cattle, and horses, but no description of TTW methods or fluid analysis in healthy goats is available. Hypothesis/Objectives Describe a technique for collecting TTW fluid (TTWF) from healthy goats and describe the nucleated cell ...

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Communal Goat Farmers on the Prevalence and Control of Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Northern KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) are a significant impediment to communal goat production, causing considerable economic losses, making their control imperative. The objective of this study was to determine farmers’ knowledge, attitudes and practices on the control of GIN in communal goat flocks.

Detection of Anemia Using Famacha Eye Color Chart in Goats

, 2023
Goats have a wide distribution in the world (Anene et al., 1994). Their ability to survive on native pasture, high reproductive rate, low cost of feeding and requirement for minimal capital input make their production attractive to all classes of farmers (Aliyu, 1990).

Relationship between FAMACHA© scores and zootechnical indicators of a sheep production system

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Research and Animal Science, 2023
In Brazil, lamb producers face challenges raising their animals because of high anthelmintic resistance and loss of productivity due to parasites. It is well known that parasitic infections can reduce the performance of sheep. However, until the publication of this work, no research was found that quantified the effects that anemia reflected by FAMACHA©

A Review of Ethnomedicinal Plants as Potential Anthelmintic Agents to Alternatively Control Gastrointestinal Nematodes of Ruminants in South Africa

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Small ruminant production is one of the most important animal productions for food security in the world, especially in the developing world. Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection is a threat to this animal’s production. Conventional drugs that are used to control these parasites are losing their efficacy due to the development of resistant ...
