Smarter Strategies to Combat Worm Resistance in Sheep and Goats
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Sheep and goats are essential to agricultural systems globally, thriving from small family farms to expansive commercial farms across diverse landscapes. These hardy animals convert marginal grazing lands, often unsuitable for crops or other livestock, into valuable products such as meat for nutrition, milk for dairy, wool for textiles, and manure for soil enhancement. In many regions, they strengthen food security and support rural livelihoods, particularly in areas with limited resources, where their low-maintenance nature proves advantageous. Their ability to browse on shrubs and weeds also aids land management, helping control vegetation and reduce fire hazards in vulnerable terrains.
