Internal parasites are an important issue in goat production, and parasite resistance to drugs is prevalent. • Grazing management, including frequent rotations and providing browse, reduces the likelihood that goats ingest larvae. • Reductions in FAMACHA score and some fecal egg counts were observed following grazing interseeded pastures.
Key Findings
- At Frog Hollow Farm, FAMACHA scores did not change throughout the grazing season, but fecal egg counts were lower after interseeded pastures had been grazed.
- At Girl and a Goat Farm, FAMACHA scores and some parasite fecal egg counts were lower in goats grazing seeded pastures.
