Assessment of Anthelmintic Resistance in Goats in Echague, Isabela, Philippines

Author(s) Ms. Juicy Paguyo Gerardo
Country Philippines
Abstract Goat farming plays an important part in global livestock production, being adaptable to different environments, including arid and marginal areas; known to provide meat, milk, fiber, and manure that support the food supply and income of millions of rural families. In the Philippines, goat production remains to be smallholder farming; raised alongside crops to maximize household resources. However, it is threatened by animal health problem, particularly parasitic infections, leading to low productivity. The present study was conducted to evaluate anthelmintic resistance in goat raised in different smallhold farms in Echague, Isabela, Philippines using Fecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT). The study was carried-out using 150 heads of mature goats, naturally infected with parasites, were been dewormed within 4 months, and raised in six (6) different study sites. The most prevalent gastro-intestinal nematode was identified before and after deworming using Albendazole®.
Results of the laboratory evaluation shows that Haemonchus spp. is the most prevalent gastrointestinal parasite, present in all animals under study. On the other hand, 82% of the population show resistance to dewormer. Therefore, anthelmintic resistance has already developed across the study sites. Haemonchus spp. can no longer be effectively controlled by Albendazole treatment.
