At testing method for determining the current level of parasite infestation of your animals

duddingtonia flagrans

Nematode trapping fungi

grazing

Larvae of the barber pole worm is acquired by sheep and goats through __________________

mites

Tiny spider relative that burrow into the skin and cause several types of mange

endoparasites

Parasites living on the inside of the host's body

bot flies

These flies deposit eggs on hairs and their larvae invade the mouth where they develop in the tongue/gums and pass to stomach of horse leading to stomach ulceration

Copper toxicity

What is a danger of using copper-wire boluses for control of parasites in sheep?

tick

Wingless blood sucking insects that are species specific.

parasite

. An organism that lives on or inside another living organism and gains benefit (at the host's expense).

severe anemia

A 5 on the FAMACHA scale is indicative of _______________________

amemic

A FAMACHA score of 1 indicates that the animal is not __________________

minority

A ___________________ of animals harbor most of the worms in a flock or herd

Myiasis

A condition, also known as flystrike, caused by the parasitic dipterous fly larvae feeding on a hosts tissue. Eggs slayed in moist wool or open skin break.

mosquito

A flying blood sucking insect that is often a vector for malaria and West Nile virus.

chicory

A forage being used at Clemson University to control parasites in sheep - researched by Dr. Duckett

coccidia

A subclass of protozoal parasites that attack many species including pigs, chickens and cattle

Smart Drenching

An approach where producers and veterinarians use current scientific knowledge on host physiology, anthelmintic pharmacokinetics, parasite biology, anthelmintic resistance parameters and current anthelmintic resistance levels on farm to develop a proper strategies for effective deworming and minimizing further resistance development to anthelmintics

stressed

Animals during the peri-parturient and weaning periods are generally _____________________, thus making it important to target parasite control during these times as they may be more susceptible to infestation

Haemonchus contortus

Barber pole worm - major parasite in sheep and goats (two words, hyphen

ostertagia

Common parasite of cattle - known as the brown stomach worm that causes poor production, anemia and scouring

A tool based on estimating the level of anemia in the animal to help direct the appropriate anthelmintic use in your sheep or goats

FAMACHA

anemia

FAMACHA is a method used to detect _____________ in sheep and goats that may be precipitated by parasitic infestations

integrated

For optimal parasite control, what type of approach should you take?

resistant parasites

Frequent treatments, under dosing, early season treatment and treating all animals at the same time lead to anthelmintic __________________________

long

Haemonchus contortus has a ______________________ transmission season, but a short life cycle.

quarantine

If you buy a new ram or buck for your operation, you should deworm the animal with 3 anthelmintics from different drug classes and then ___________________ the animal for approximately 2 weeks.

clean

If you buy a new ram or buck for your operation, you should never turn the new animal out onto a _____________________ pasture.

feed intake

Keeping the anthelmintic in the rumen is very important to improve its efficacy. As such, we need to decrease digesta transit from the rumen by restricting ________________ (2 words, hyphen) 12 -14 hours before treatment and in some cases give a second dose 12-14 hours later.

Ectoparasites

Parasites living on outside of the host's body

false

Parasite infestation is the only reason an animal may be anemic - true or false.

Sensitive genes

Refugia provides a pool of _______________________ (2 words, hyphen) that dilutes resistant genes in the parasite

DrenchRite

Resistance diagnosis can be accomplished by a labor-intensive fecal egg count method (requiring a veterinarian) or by a trademarked laboratory test called ________________________.

condensed tannins

Sericea lespedez contains __________________________ (two words, hyphen) that have shown promise in controlling some endoparasites in sheep and goats

larger

The ________________________ the refugia, the slower parasite populations become resistant to anthelmintics

refugia

The proportion of parasite population that is not under selection by drug treatment (e.g., parasites in untreated animals, eggs/larvae on pasture)

Haemonchus contortus larvae

The reason a person should avoid allowing their sheep or goats to graze pastures less than 4 inches in height

macrolides

The three drug classes of dewormers (anthelmintics) are benzimidazoles, cholinergic inhibitors and _____________________

heel fly

Two words (hyphen) - a fly that migrated under the cow's skin until they reach the cow's back where they exit by cutting a hole in the hide

roundworm

Type of worm that may grow to 12 inches in length and cause small intestinal rupture in horses

drug resistance

We rotate use of anthelmintics to avoid parasite ____________________

grass fields

Where are larvae of Haemonchus contortus found?

two

When using anthelmintics to treat worm infestations, it is recommended that _________________ anthelmintics from different classes of anthelmintics be used.

goat

Which animal metabolizes drugs faster, goat or sheep?

orally

You should deliver anthelmintic drugs ______________________ not as a pour on.

anthelmintics

You should not use _______________ as pour ons for treating lice or ticks on animals as it may lead to resistant strains of internal parasites.

internal

_____________________ parasites are the #1 health problem affect sheep and goats in warm climates

genetic selection

____________________________ may be used to increase animal resistance and resilience to parasite infestations
