The paper begins with Nepals geographic location, climate, altitude, area in sq km., regions, and economy. This is followed by livelihood analysis and poverty focus referring to capital access and vulnerability content. Then the paper examines the role of small ruminants in the countrys economy....

Options to overcome worm infection in small ruminants for producers in Nepal
The paper starts with a description of parasites of small ruminants in the Philippines. It then discusses host-parasite relationships and worm control options; looks into worm control programs; and examines impact of helminths on production. It then discusses anthelmintic plants and biological co...
The purpose of this chapter is two-fold. First, the information available on breeds of sheep and goats that are resistant or resilient to helminthiasis (mainly the GI nematodes) infections are reviewed. This is important information for inclusion of appropriate breeds in integrated endoparasite c...

Appropriate breeds and breeding schemes for sheep and goats in the tropics
ACIAR funded a collaborative project between research organisations in Southeast Asia for ILRI and regional partners to explore new ways to control helminth parasites in the tropics. The project aimed to increase small ruminant production in Southeast Asia by controlling internal parasites, which...
There have been numerous Reports of resistance to anthelmintics in Southeast Asia, from Malaysia (Rahman, 1994), Thailand (Kochapakdee et al., 1995) and Indonesia (Dorny et al., 1995). In the Philippines, benzimidazole resistance in a field population of Haemonchus contortus from sheep has been d...
Presents the objective of the programme, viz., to implement currently available options for nematode control including rotational grazing systems and identification of effective dewormers. Preliminary results on these are presented here. Research on the identification of resistants genotypes is i...

Better worm control for goats and sheep in the Philippines
One of the alternative control strategies being advocated by scientists and goats raisers is the identification of breeds of goats that are resistant specifically to endoparasites that commonly affect existing breeds and exotic genotypes. Due to the Reported large genetic variation existing among...

Identifying small ruminant genotypes that are resistant to endoparasites
The focus of this volume is on small ruminant production, the effects that nematode parasites have on their productivity and ways of overcoming these effects. In some chapters, avoidance takes on more significance than direct confrontation. This volume is arranged in two sections. The first secti...
