Anthelmintic resistance against commonly used anthelmintic fenbendazole was evaluated by employing faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) in naturally occurring gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes in the semi organized sheep and goat farms of Ludhiana and Amritsar districts. A total of 80 animals (20 each for sheep and goat in both districts) were randomly selected and their faecal samples were examined by qualitative and quantitative parasitological techniques. Results indicate presence of high level of resistance against fenbendazole in both sheep and goat population of Ludhiana and Amritsar districts. More resistance was observed in the GI nematodes from animals reared in Amritsar district as compared to Ludhiana district. The level of anthelmintic resistance observed was apparently more in sheep than goats.
通过在卢迪亚纳和阿姆利则地区半规模化绵羊和山羊养殖场对自然感染胃肠道线虫的动物进行粪便虫卵计数减少试验(FECRT),评估了常用驱虫药芬苯达唑的驱虫抗性。共随机选取80只动物(两个地区绵羊和山羊各20只),并通过定性和定量寄生虫学技术检查其粪便样本。结果表明,卢迪亚纳和阿姆利则地区的绵羊和山羊群体对芬苯达唑均存在高水平抗性。与卢迪亚纳地区相比,在阿姆利则地区饲养的动物的胃肠道线虫中观察到更多抗性。观察到的驱虫抗性水平在绵羊中明显高于山羊。
