Overview

Preliminary trial evaluates anthelmintic efficacy of albendazole and ivermectin in sheep and goats, indicating resistance issues.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of albendazole and ivermectin against gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep and goats in Sarawak.
  • Conducted a preliminary experimental trial using faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) over 14 days.
  • Administered albendazole and ivermectin to different sheep and goat groups.
  • Prepared coprocultures to identify third stage larvae (L3) of nematodes post-treatment.
  • Albendazole showed a 76.8% reduction in epg for White dorper sheep (Group D).
  • Ivermectin treatment resulted in 85.4% reduction in Barbados blackbelly sheep (Group A), 75.8% in White dorper sheep (Group C), and 75.9% in Saanen goats (Group B).
  • None of the treatment groups achieved the W.A.A.V.P recommended post-treatment FECR for susceptibility.
