Q.Sheep & Goats

How do I manage internal parasites in sheep?

A.

Use FAMACHA score for individual animal assessment, rotate pastures with rest periods of 60+ days, multispecies grazing (cattle break parasite cycles for sheep), copper boluses where local conditions support, and only deworm individuals showing signs (selective treatment). Resistance to dewormers is widespread.

Livestock-breeds pages cover parasite-resistant breeds.
