•Use grazing management,
rather than anthelmintics, to provide ‘safe’ grazing
•
•Use rams selected for
low FEC to breed ewe replacements
FEC EBV = -50 EPG
FEC EBV = +50 EPG
In
flocks that are breeding their own female replacements, the resistance of the
flock to worms can be increased by using rams that have been selected for
worm resistance.
See Sections 8.3,
8.4 and 3.7.5 of the text, Sustainable Worm Control in Sheep.
