Assessment reveals rising anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematodes on sheep farms, indicating urgent need for better management.

Resistance to all anthelmintic treatments was confirmed in Haemonchus contortus, a common gastrointestinal nematode.
Faecal egg count reduction tests conducted on 259 lambs from eight farms highlighted significant GIN resistance issues.
Suboptimal practices, including improper administration of drugs, were prevalent among farmers over 65 years old.
The findings underline the necessity for improved deworming strategies to ensure effective management of GINs in communal farming.

Mavundela et al. (2025) studied this question.
