A long term experiment of integrated control of nematode parasitism in Creole goats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infection with gastro-intestinal nematodes (GIN) is one of the most prevalent diseases affecting small ruminants in the tropics. Mixed grazing between sheep and cattle reduces infection of the small ruminants and improves growth performances (Mahieu et al., 1997). Also, it is possible to select Creole goats on resistance to GIN during the post weaning growth and the periparturient period (Mandonnet et al., 2006). This study presents the potential benefits of combining these two control methods.

Effect of long-term onion (Allium cepa) feeding on antioxidant enzymes in goat erythrocyte
The effect of long-term onion consumption on red blood cell antioxidant enzymes [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)], were measured. The relationship of these enzymes with PCV and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations was also determined. Twelve adult female goats were used for the experiment and randomly assigned to three groups. Anim...
متن کاملImpact of the post-weaning parasitism history on an experimental Haemonchus contortus infection in Creole goat kids.
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections have an important negative impact on small ruminant production. The selection of genotypes resistant to these parasitic infections is a promising alternative control strategy. Thus, resistance against GIN is an important component of small ruminant breeding schemes, based on phenotypic measurements of resistance in immune mature infected animals. In th...
متن کاملInteractions between nutrition and gastrointestinal infections with parasitic nematodes in goats
Parasitic nematodes of the digestive tract remain one of the main constraints to goat production both in temperate and tropical countries. The usual mode of control of these gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) based on the repeated use of anthelmintics is now strongly questioned because of the increasing development of resistance to these molecules. Among the alternative methods to anthelmintics c...

Nutritional and hormonal programs are one of the important ways of improving goat reproductive performance. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of using barley seed and eCG at the same time on the reproductive performance of goat in nomadic breeding conditions. The number of 60 goats of two to three-year-old in the breeding season and 60 goats of three to four-y...
متن کاملAssessment of genetic variability of resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites in Creole goats in the humid tropics.
Goat production is widespread in the tropics. Goats are very susceptible to gastrointestinal nematode infection, but there is less evidence of their genetic resistance. Genetic resistance of Creole goats to gastrointestinal nematodes has been studied at Guadeloupe in the French West Indies since 1995. The objective of this research was to investigate genetic variation for resistance to gastroin...
