Abstract

The incidence of parasites that affects severely the health and productivity of small ruminants has been increased in the last years to due climatic change and misuse of anthelmintic therapies. The aim of this study were assessed the anthelmintic efficacy of an allopathic (Ivermectin, IV) and other homeopathic product (parafil, PF) in naturally infested ewes. To achieve these objectives the fecal egg count reduction test and percentage of larval development for detecting resistance were evaluate on 36 ewes allocated in each one of the three treatments, over a 56 days period. Fecal samples were collected rectally from all animals weekly (0, 14, 21, 28 and 56 days). Mixed model was used to evaluate the effect of anthelmintic product on body condition score (BCS), body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), fecal egg count (FEC), efficacy and resistance (PROCMIXED, SAS). The results are shown in the table 1. Parafil showed higher efficacy, ADG and Best FAMACHA score and lower resistance in comparison with IV and control group, therefore is a viable option to reduce gastrointestinal parasites in sheep without compromise the animal health and environmental equilibrium.
