There’s a problem When we think of
parasites we think of drugs
Minimal drugs licensed for parasites for sheep in Canada
![Page 6: ♫ Bad Bugs, Bad Bugs, Whatcha Gonna Do? ♪ : Parasites in Sheep](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816874550346895ddee5a3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What does this mean for a sheep producer?
Drugs used in food animals are federally regulated
Only a veterinarian can prescribe extra-label drug use
![Page 7: ♫ Bad Bugs, Bad Bugs, Whatcha Gonna Do? ♪ : Parasites in Sheep](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816874550346895ddee5a3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Its more complicated Drugs
Identified by DIN number on packaging
Extra-label use permitted with veterinary prescription and withdrawal period
Pesticides
Identified by PCP number on package
No extra-label drug use permited
![Page 8: ♫ Bad Bugs, Bad Bugs, Whatcha Gonna Do? ♪ : Parasites in Sheep](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816874550346895ddee5a3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Antibiotic labels tell you all you need to know
SC = under the skinIM = in the muscleIV = in the vein
![Page 9: ♫ Bad Bugs, Bad Bugs, Whatcha Gonna Do? ♪ : Parasites in Sheep](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816874550346895ddee5a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Treatment options for sheep are limited
You need a veterinarian to prescribe parasite treatments Use gFARAD for withdrawal information

The Canadian Prairies
Good for sheep Bad for most
parasites “its’s a dry cold”
It is not bad luck it is bad management

Coccidiosis
Mainly a problem of intensively raised lambs
Especially indoors
Outdoors needs specific conditions
![Page 12: ♫ Bad Bugs, Bad Bugs, Whatcha Gonna Do? ♪ : Parasites in Sheep](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816874550346895ddee5a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Onset early as 8d Typically 4-6 weeks
Severe diarrhea +/- blood
Tenesmus
Morbidity high, mortality low
![Page 13: ♫ Bad Bugs, Bad Bugs, Whatcha Gonna Do? ♪ : Parasites in Sheep](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070500/56816874550346895ddee5a3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Coccidiosis
Etiology E. cradallis, E.
ovinoidalis
Diagnosis Epidemiology, fecal,
PM
Not all that easy!

Management Avoid the epidemiology
Use of coccidiostats Deccox Baycox Monensin Amprolium

Treatment TMS

Eggs passed in feces Hatch and develop to L3 on pasture L3 ingested Develop to L5 – adult in host causing disease Pass eggs in feces
Hypobiosis
Small ruminants – Periparturient egg rise is significant Adults develop some immunity
Trichostrongyloidea

Understanding the epidemiology
All research is done in a different climate
Periparturient egg rise Egg – L3 development on pasture Cycling in lambs Some winter die off

2009 – 270 lambs in the 1st 6 months
”In heavy infestations the carcass is condemned.It is commonly considered that an animal isheavily infested if lesions are discovered in two ofthe usual inspection sites including the massetermuscle, tongue, oesophagus, heart, diaphragmor exposed musculature and in two sites duringincision into the shoulder and the rounds.Carcasses with C. ovis infestations may not beacceptable for export.”
