Résumé : |
The problems of incrasing levels of parasite damage to hides and skins, currently being experienced in the UK,mirror the situation in many other countries. There are a number of factors at work, but what is needed is a strategic approach for the control of parasites. Thisinvolves elements of farm management, animal husbandry techniques, proper control over how available treatments are used and the development of some form of quality feedback system to reward farmers who follow good practices.
In the UK, the ain problems with parasites are with lice in cattle, and in sheep with the scab mite, along with the range of ectoparasites previously controlled by the sheep dipping regime (lice, ticks, keds and flow fly). |
