Total anthelmintic failure to control nematode parasites of small ruminants on government breeding farms in Sabah , East Malaysia . Government-owned small-ruminant breeding farms in Malaysia provide the source of sheep and goats to smallholder farmers in the country . In the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah , high-level stock losses have been recorded on these farms for several years , frequently accompanied by clinical signs indicating pathogenic levels of infections with the nematode parasite Haemonchus contortus . This suggests that their dependence on chemotherapy to control parasite infections had failed . Accordingly , tests for anthelmintic efficacy using the faecal egg count reduction test ( FECRT ) on the range of drugs used to control nematode parasites were carried out on the five government small-ruminant breeding farms in Sabah . These tests showed a total failure of the benzimidazole , imidothiazole , macrocyclic lactone and salicylanilide groups of anthelmintics to control H. contortus infections of sheep and goats on all farms . Drastic changes in animal management need to be made in an attempt to deal with this situation , for which suggestions are made .
