Use of FAMACHA system to evaluate gastrointestinal nematode resistance/resilience in offspring of stud rams.

Veterinary parasitology - 6 May 2008

Burke J M, Miller J E

Abstract excerpt

High levels of anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) of small ruminants have created the need for animals with greater resistance to these parasites. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effectiveness of the FAMACHA system in identification of parasite resilient/resistant offspring, and thus identification of stud rams with greater resilience/resistance. Katahdin ewes bred in...
