Abstract

In national ovineculture, the biggest problem about the sanitary management are the endoparasites infections. The aim of this work was to detect the resistance occurrence  of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep livestock in Pontes e Lacerda region, evaluating the efficiency of anthelmintic molecules of: Abamectine, Closantel, Doramectine, Levamisol Fosfate, Ivermectine, Moxidectin and Albendazole Sulfacid. It was used 520 undefined genotype female sheeps , Santa Ines pattern, with different ages belonging to different properties.These ovines were distributed and monitorated by  faecal egg counts reduction test(FECRT). The results presented showed that the reduction on the average efficiency of the molecules used in the properties were  15,40%, 60,32%, 85,30%, 94,61%, 67,43%, 92,18%, 43,53%, para Abamectine, Closantel, Doramectine, Levamisol Fosfate, Ivermectine, Moxidectin and Albendazole Sulfacid  respectivelly. The molecules used showed different actions, even all the proprieties are in similar region, assuring the resistance of nematodes is related to the management and the control alternatives adopted in each property.
