FAMACHA: An Eye-Colour Based Ready Reckoner for Assessing Worm-load in Small Ruminants
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections, or worms, are an important cause of low productivity in small ruminants. The usual practice of administering anthelmintics involves drenching of goat and sheep two to three times a year leading to development of anthelmintic resistant strains of parasites and thus limited effectiveness of worm control programmes. The presented study elaborates upon the FAMACHA system, an alternative way of managing nematode infections, which makes use of clinical anaemia as a determinant, with subsequent selection and de-worming of only those animals which seem unable to cope with the infection.
