摘要: This study aimed to assess current worm control practices used by Australian alpaca farmers with an online questionnaire survey. The contained questions about farm demography and general husbandry practices, farmers' knowledge gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) their importance, the use of strategies anthelmintics, grazing management. A link for survey was sent all (n = 954) registered members Alpaca Association in July 2015. response rate 25% (239/954). majority respondents were from small (≤ 50 alpacas; 64%, 153/239) followed medium (50-100 24%, 57/239) large (>100 12%, 29/239) farms. Findings revealed that kept Huacaya alpacas produce high-quality fibre usually other domestic ruminants (e.g. cattle sheep). Although half (114/220) perceived GINs important health problem alpacas, Haemonchus spp. being most common nematode, them (174/220) anthelmintics nematode control. Macrocyclic lactones, a commercial combination four (abamectin, albendazole, closantel levamisole) monepantel three commonly dewormers farmers. significant proportion (166/213) quarantine drench very few aware strategic deworming issue anthelmintic resistance. mostly at dose recommended sheep (47%, 79/167) (9%, 15/167), though some 1.5 (31%, 51/167) 2 (13%, 22/167) times sheep. herds while provides invaluable insights into farms Australia, worms control, thereby paving way developing guidelines alpacas.
