Internal parasite control

One of the biggest challenges that faces sheep and goat producers is how to effectively control internal parasites in their flocks and herds. On this page, links are arranged alphabetically according to subject matter: anthelmintics, anthelmintic resistance, diagnostics, fact sheets (general), FAMACHA©, Five Point Check©, and refugia. Alternative methods of parasite control can be found on the Alternative parasite control page.

The Maryland Small Ruminant Page [sheepandgoat.com] was created in 1998 as an information portal for sheep and goat producers and anyone else interested in sheep and goat production. The web site includes original documents and images as well as a comprehensive list of links pertaining to small ruminants and related topics. The web site was developed and is maintained by Susan Schoenian, Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist at the University of Maryland's Western Maryland Research & Education Center. Susan has been with University of Maryland Extension since 1988. She holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and Montana State University, respectively, and also attended The Ohio State University. Susan conducts the Western Maryland Pasture-Based Meat Goat Performance Test at her research facility in Keedysville. She raises registered and commercial Katahdin sheep on her small farm called The Baalands in Clear Spring, Maryland. Please direct all questions, comments, or suggestions to Susan at sschoen@umd.edu.
