Conservation agriculture has no significant impact on sheep digestive parasitism

Conservation agriculture (CONS A) is a sustainable system based on crop rotation with no tillage. It has various environmental advantages compared to conventional (CONV A): decreased water evaporation, erosion, and CO 2 emissions. In this first study of its kind, we aim evaluate the impact type sheep gastrointestinal parasites. Two lamb groups aged between 5 10 months were randomly included graze separately CONS A CONV pastures. Each group was composed two batches three lambs, these followed up for rearing months. Liveweight, hematological parameter variation, digestive parasites studied. At end period, lambs slaughtered carcass yield determined, helminthological autopsy performed tracts animals estimate different parasitological indicators. There difference reared those all parasite indicators (infestation intensity, abundance, prevalence). The same trend also obtained parameters, liveweight evolution, yield. These results prove that there sheep's parasitism. Further studies are needed support findings larger animal samples investigate conservation other species. Similar could be conducted ruminant
