Anthelmintic resistance
-
The present study was planned to know the status of anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes of two organized sheep and one goat farms of subHimalayan region of northern India using faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT). Three anthelmintics, fenbendazole (FBZ), tetramisole HCl (TMS) and ivermectin (IVM) of benzimidazole, imidazothiazole and macrocyclic lactone groups, respectively were tested at each farm.

Development of anthelmintic resistance has made it essential to develop alternative ways of worm control in animals. One of the most promising approaches is to treat only those animals which require attention in terms of worm management. “FAMACHA” method has facilitated quick identification of Haemaonchus contortus infected sheep and goats without the aid of any laboratory procedures and delivers the treatment only to those who require it.
