Parasite Management
Scholarship Description
Farmers in general rely upon the routine use of anthelmintics to control internal parasites. With the increased cost of anthelmintics and the fast developed parasite resistance to anthelmintics, farmers are forced to seek alternative approaches for parasite control. Non chemical means of control offers the potential to reduce adverse effects of internal parasites, reduce anthelmintic use and minimising risk of development of drug resistance. In other countries sheep grazing forage chicory under experimental conditions have been shown to carry lower burdens of some worm species and suffer less from parasitism. However, the mechanism of this beneficial effect by including chicory into pasture mix is unclear.
