title: Non-pharmaceutical Control of Endoparasitic Infections in Sheep.
abstract: The need for sustainable, holistic, and integrated parasite management against sheep worms is emphasized. This article describes approaches for worm management, including lowering the rate and amount of contamination of pastures, identifying and protecting the most vulnerable animals, reducing the selection pressure for anthelmintic resistance, monitoring of parasite infections, and increasing the resistance and resilience of sheep. Control measures under development also are discussed.
