This paper reports the occurrence of nematode anthelmintic resistance on the 18 small ruminants private farms located in Peninsular Malaysia. Nematode faecal egg count reduction tests (FECRT) was conducted to evaluate the status of resistance of nematode populations to four types of anthelmintics that is oxfendazole moxidectin levamisole and closantel. It was found that nematode population on all farms showed resistance to closantel nematode population on 13 farms showed resistance to oxfendazole nematode populations on 8 farms showed resistance to levamisole and nematode population on 4 farms showed resistance to moxidectin. Third stage infective larvae collected from pre-treatment faecal cultures from 16 farms showed Haemonchus contortus to be the most prevalent species (overall prevalence of 56) followed by Trichostrongylus spp. (30) Bunistomum spp. (7) Oesophagostomum spp. (4) and Cooperia spp. (3).

Abstract

This paper reports the occurrence of nematode anthelmintic resistance on the 18 small ruminants private farms located in Peninsular Malaysia. Nematode faecal egg count reduction tests (FECRT) was conducted to evaluate the status of resistance of nematode populations to four types of anthelmintics that is oxfendazole moxidectin levamisole and closantel. It was found that nematode population on all farms showed resistance to closantel nematode population on 13 farms showed resistance to oxfendazole nematode populations on 8 farms showed resistance to levamisole and nematode population on 4 farms showed resistance to moxidectin. Third stage infective larvae collected from pre-treatment faecal cultures from 16 farms showed Haemonchus contortus to be the most prevalent species (overall prevalence of 56) followed by Trichostrongylus spp. (30) Bunistomum spp. (7) Oesophagostomum spp. (4) and Cooperia spp. (3).
