Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal nematodes cause digestive problems, anemia and weight loss in sheep and goat. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to introduce FAMACHA test and its usage for early detection of infected animals with gastrointestinal nematodes (especially Haemonchus contortus), to reduce thetreated sheep population with anthelmintic drug and selection of resistant animals. METHODS: In this study 120 Ghezel sheep breed lambs, aged 4 to 6 months were used. The lambs were chosen randomly from 6 different grazing flocks with 20 lambs in each of them. Sampling and FAMACHA test scoring was carried out in 2014. Blood samples were collected for calculating packed cell volume percentage and fecal sampling was collected for counting of egg per each gram of fecal, and body weight was investigated. The sampling was carried out 2 times in one week intervals. RESULTS: Results showed that the effects of FAMACHA, flocks and interaction between them on parasite eggs per gram of fecal was significant (p<0. 01). Also, the effect of FAMACHA on the percentage of packed cells volume was significant (p<0. 01). CONCLUSIONS: It seems that the FAMACHA test score could be used as a synergetic and alternative method for early diagnosis of infestation to blood sucking nematodes and prevention of new cases of drug resistance and selection of resistant animals in Iran.
