Abstract

Anthelmintic products efficacy was evaluated within goat and sheep herds in municipalities belonging to the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The animals were male and female of various ages and breeds, reared under semi-intensive and intensive system. The effectiveness of Moxidectin, ivermectin and albendazole drugs was detected using the fecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), calculated by the formula: %efficacy = 1 - [(Mean FEC post-treatment/Mean FEC pre-treatment)] x 100, indicating inefficiency with index lower than 95%. Moxidectin was efficient in sheep and goat herds, ivermectin showed better performance in sheep, while albendazole was not effective for either species. Haemonchus sp. was the most prevalent in larval culture.

KEY WORDS: Anthelmintic, caprine, ovine, Pernambuco-Brasil, resistence, sheep.
