The negative effects of nematodes in small ruminants can be reduced by use of dewormers but their effectiveness is increasingly limited by the emergence of anthelmintic resistance. The efficacy of benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintics in the Philippines was estimated by an in vitro larval development...

Efficacy of benzimidazole anthelmintics in goats and sheep in the Philippines using a larval development assay
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...
In the Philippines, management of grazing flock like rotational grazing is not being done as a parasite control, but to improve the condition of the pasture and the nutritional status of the animals. Posas (1981) compared goat production and impact of soil, pasture, and coconut production. Rotati...
