9:00 AM • INT4 • "Targeted treatments in domestic ruminants (cattle, sheep, goat)" > F. Fiona KENYON
Content : Worm infection is ubiquitous in grazing ruminants worldwide and is a major cause of production limiting disease. The development of anthelmintic resistance has forced judicious use of these chemicals. Targeting treatment, thereby leaving a proportion of the worm population unexposed to drugs has been shown to optimise drug use, with the most suitable indicators to determine treatment depending on host species, farming goal and worms present.
