Gastrointestinal parasites cause considerable losses in sheep pro- duction, and Florida Native sheep show a certain resistance to these parasites. An experiment was conducted in Tepetates, Veracruz, in which 32 six-to-eight-month-old lambs (15 ewe lambs and 17 ram lambs) were utilized including 6 Florida Natives (F), 6 Pelibuey (P), 8 FxP, 6 PxF and 6 more as a control group,

Parasitological problems can affect goats' productivity, skin quality and be of zoonotic importance. This study was to determine the prevalence of ectoparasite and endoparasites of goats in Port Harcourt. A total of 150 animals were examined from four different locations. Ectoparasites were detected by brushing and examining with naked eyes, hand lens, and under the microscope. Endoparasites were detected by standard parasitological technique. Results indicate that ectoparasites were higher (61.3%) in goats than endoparasites (38.6%). Based on location, ectoparasites prevalence was higher in Uniport Agric farm (30.4%), this was followed by Mile 3 with (25.1%) while Rumuosi and Alakahia had 22.8% and 21.6% respectively. Endoparasites were higher (33.2%) at Uniport Agric farm followed by Mile 3, (24.6%) then Rumuosi and Alakahia had (22.6%) and (19.5%) respectively. Ectoparasites identified were Caliseta species (38.1%), Demodex species (20.6%) while Ixodes species, Damalimia species, and Ctemacephalides species had (16.9%), (14.0%) and (10.3%). Endoparasites identified were Nimatodirus (41.0%), Trichuris species (23.8%), Moneiza species (22.3%), and Ascaris species (12.85). In conclusion, the prevalence of ectoparasites and endoparasites in Port Harcourt is relatively high. An awareness campaign about the importance and control of these parasites is recommended to forestall the risks of zoonosis.

The effect of administration of butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin on the prophylaxis of pregnancy toxaemia in ewe was investigated. Moreover, the effects of these compounds on body weight gain and biochemical metabolism of pregnant ewe was assessed. A total of 59 pregnant Kıvırcık crossbred ewes were used in this study. Group I (n:15) was administered butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin three times before delivery at one week intervals. Group II (n:15) was administered butaphosphan and cyanocobalamin three times before delivery at three day intervals. Group III (n:15) was administered 0.9% NaCl three times before delivery at one week intervals. Group IV (n:14) was administered 0.9%NaCl three times before delivery at three day intervals. Six blood samples were taken from each ewe four times before delivery and two times after delivery. Hematological and biochemical analyses were performed.

This paper presents the main social and economic influences of small ruminants on the environment as well as the impact of small ruminants on natural resources in two of the most dominant world farming systems, arid and temperate. The analysis of the arid system underlined the apparent incapacity of the land to support the numbers of domestic animals that caused most of the damage in addition to that accomplished through cultivation and gathering of wood species. The ecological integrity of these systems was weakened once the strategies behind their adaptation to arid and marginal areas (diversification and mobility) were threatened. In addition, the transformation that these systems are going through (social, economical and political) has threatened the viability of these traditional systems. In temperate zones, there are concerns that both too little and too much grazing by small ruminants is leading to environmental degradation. There is a need to more fully understand the role t...
