Public ISBD in Proceedings of the fourth Farming Systems Working Group Meeting, June 13-15, 1989, Kathmandu / Farming Systems Research and Dev. Div     Title : Effect of anthelmintic treatment on bodyweight change in goats. Material Type: printed text Authors: Oli, K.P., Author ; D. R. Ratala, Author ; Basnet, T.B, Author Publisher: Khumaltar : FSRDD Publication Date: 1989 Pagination: 203-311 p. Keywords: Farming  Systems;  Agriculture Abstract: The effect of anthelmintic treatment ("drenching") on  bodyweight change in goats in the Midhills of Nepal was investigated. Sixty-four (64) goats determined by faecal examination to be infected with endoparasites were divided into two equal groups and either  treated with one of three anthelmintics as per the species            of parasite found (treatment group), or left untreated control group. All goats were weighed at one and two months post-treatment. During the trial 12 goats in the treatment group and 17 goats in the control group were sold by farmers indicating one of the problems with doing on-farm research with livestock. Average  daily gain (ADG) the first 30 and 60 days in the treatment group was 64.0 (± 46.5)  gms and 31.2 (± 31.3) gms, respectively, compared to 48.9 <±  51.8) gms and 45.3 (±_56.7) gms. for the control group over the same periods. The differences in ADG between treated and untreated goats was not significant for both Periods.    Considering the minimal increase in bodyweight and the cost of anthelmintic (Rs 12  per goat) and the labor to administer it (Rs 1 per goat), drenching was  estimated to  result in a loss of Rs 8.1 per head. Results indicate that mass drenching of all goats in a region without clinical signs of infestation with adult parasites is not economically beneficial.

Initial endo-parasite surveillance in Naldung Panchayat Kavre district / Oli, K.P.    

Public ISBD in Proceedings of the fourth Farming Systems Working Group Meeting, June 13-15, 1989, Kathmandu / Farming Systems Research and Dev. Div     Title : Initial endo-parasite surveillance in Naldung Panchayat Kavre district Material Type: printed text Authors: Oli, K.P., Author ; Ratala O.R, Author ; Basnet, T.B, Author Publisher: Khumaltar : FSRDD Publication Date: 1989 Pagination: 294-302 p. Keywords: Farming  Systems;  Agriculture Abstract: Internal-parasitic diseases are one of the most important diseases of  ruminants in the midhills and tropical plains <Terai> and goats in Naldung  (altitude    3500'-6500' a.s.l) were determined using flotation and sedimentation technique from randomly selected animals. Incidence of liverfluke was high(68%) in buffalo, medium <51%) in cattle and low <17%) in goats whereas  strangyloides    incidence was higher (69%) in the later species. Neaascaris infection were in the order of 18% and 7% in  cattle and buffalo respectively when whole population  was considered. In cattle and buffalo calf the incidence was 37% and 38%, respectively.  Estimates of economic losses of calf mortality due to Neoascarisinfection in Nepal were made which came to 0.993 million US $ per year. The   incidence of other parsites and their effect on animal's productivity  is also discussed in the light of present knowledge.
