Anthelmintic Resistance (AR), GI nematode, mineral mixture , Grazing and Feeding patternAbstract
The anthelmintic resistance (AR) in naturally infected goats (12-24 months of age group) with GI nematode parasites was studied. In this study 100 goat keepers were selected and their views were recorded through semi-structured interview scheduled on grazing and feeding practices to assess the need of control measures. For present study the variables like Feeding green fodder, feeding concentrate regularly, Method of feeding concentrate, feeding additional concentrate during pregnancy, grazing practices regularly, use of common salt in feed, use of mineral mixture regularly was taken under consideration. The 50 rural and 50 urban goat farmers were taken for the present study. It was found that all the goat keepers were using green fodder for their goats in rural area where as only 8% goat keepers of urban area provided the green fodder to their animals. This was probably due to the lack of open land and pasture areas to graze their goats in urban area. Contrary to this goat keepers of urban area provides balance concentrate ration (72%) and pulses straw (96%) to their goats whereas 16 % and 84 % of rural goat keepers provide concentrate and pulses straw respectively to their animals.
