Abstract Successful Targeted Selective Treatment (TST) against gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in small ruminant farms require the accurate measurement of phenotypic indicators animals. Specific to predict GIN burden include age animal (A, years), bodyweight (BW, lbs), FAMACHAÓ (score from 1 4), body condition score (BCS, 5), and fecal egg count (FEC, eggs per gram feces or EPG). Objective: De...

Abstract Genetic selection of sheep for resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) has become a priority pasture-based production lambs minimize the need deworming. The first objective this experiment was determine impact sire weaning or post-weaning fecal egg count (FEC) estimated breeding value (EBV; WFEC and PFEC, respectively) from National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP) on GIN infect...
