Abstract
Aim:
Intestinal parasites are one of the most common problems in sheep
production systems. However, the strategies used to eliminate
these parasites have not yielded satisfactory results. Therefore,
the aim of this study was to determine the effect of five
anthelmintics (with different active ingredients) on the parasite
load in sheep.
Materials and Methods:
In this study, 107 Rambouillet breed sheep were randomly assigned
to five groups. Next, fecal samples were taken directly from the
rectum and sent to the laboratory for analysis. We then dewormed
each group of sheep using different anthelmintic products:
Ivermectin 1%/clorsulon 10%, levamisole 12%, closantel sodium 5%,
ivermectin 10%, and closantel 5%/albendazole 3.75% with a dosage
corresponding to each sheep. At 15 days post-treatment, we took
fecal samples and performed a coproparasitoscopic study, using the
Faust flotation technique to assess the presence or absence of
parasite eggs and the McMaster technique to quantify eggs.
Results:
Ivermectin/clorsulon was more effective in eliminating parasites
than other anthelmintics used, especially in
Haemonchus
spp.
Conclusion:
The results of this study indicate that using ivermectin/clorsulon
decreases the number of eggs in feces and is one alternative in
controlling parasites in sheep, leading to a reduction in the
incidence of health problems, and consequently, improved
productivity.
Keywords:
anthelmintics, control, intestinal parasites, sheep.
