Re-Thinking The Summer Drenching Program, Brown Besier
Re-Thinking The Summer Drenching Program, Brown Besier
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The summer drenching program has provided highly effective sheep worm control in Western Australia for many years - but recent research challenges its long term sustainability.
Trial results suggest that in large parts of the State, summer drenching is the main factor leading to the development of drench resistant worms. Alternative programs less likely to lead to drench resistance will require greater monitoring of worm burdens and panning pasture moves.
Getting The Best Out Of Weaner Sheep In The Eastern Wheatbelt, Sally Revell
Getting The Best Out Of Weaner Sheep In The Eastern Wheatbelt, Sally Revell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A study of the growth of Merino weaner flocks over summer and autumn in Western Australia 's eastern wheatbelt during 1989 and 1990 has identified efficient weaner management strategies, and provided a basis for future research and extension needs of this area. The average liveweight of several weaner flocks was unexpectedly low at the start of summer. Weaner flocks may need to be supplemented before the start of summer to prevent undue weight loss at this time.
Evaluation Of The Crack Approach For The Control Of Drench Resistance In Sheep Worms, J R. Edwards, Helen Chapman, Jon Dunsmore
Evaluation Of The Crack Approach For The Control Of Drench Resistance In Sheep Worms, J R. Edwards, Helen Chapman, Jon Dunsmore
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Department of Agriculture launched the CRACK approach to worm control in September 1985 in response to finding that anthelmintic (drench) resistant worms were present on 68 per cent of a random selection of Western Australian sheep farms.
The high cost of internal parasites in terms of lost production and drench costs, together with the high prevalence of resistant worms of farms, confirmed that changes were needed to existing parasite control measures in sheep.l
Barber's Pole Worm : A New Solution, R B. Besier
Barber's Pole Worm : A New Solution, R B. Besier
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Barber's pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) has been a major problem to the sheep industry for many years. About ten million sheep graze in Western Australia's high rainfall areas where barber's pole worm is prevalent, and the annual cost of losses and control totals millions of dollars each year.
Research in progress in Albany now offers the prospect of prolomged and reliable control of barber's pole worm, by means of few drench treatments.

A Survey Of Drench Resistance In Sheep Worms, J R. Edwards, R. Wroth, G. C. De Chaneet, R. B. Besier, J. Karlsson, P. W. Morcombe, D. Roberts, G. Dalton-Morgan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Sheep worms which are resistant to chemical drenches have been detected with increasing freuency is Western Australia's south-western farming areas between 977 and 1980. These worms have anthelmintic resistance and such genetis resistance puts essential internal parasite control practices at risk.
This prompted veterinarians in the Esperance, Albany, Bunbury, Geraldton and Northam areas to survey farms to determine the prevalence of resistance to drenches and to define those sheep management practices which encourage its development.
This article describes the survey which was conducted to assess the extent of drench resistance, what causes its build-up and how it can be controlled …

Can Worms Be Controlled By Correct Feeding?, Laurence C. Snook
Can Worms Be Controlled By Correct Feeding?, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE extensive losses which result from the ravages of internal parasites are a matter of serious concern.
Livestock owners realise this all too well and welcome advice concerning control measures which can be adopted. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give clear cut advice on the subject.
Much publicity is given to the use of drugs which will expel the worms. Various systems of strategic drenching have been developed.
It is well to remember, however, that drenching is only one of many methods which can be used to control worm infestation.
In this talk attention will be concentrated on experimental …
