TL;DR: This paper will review the available information on the interactions between nutrition and nematode parasitism in dairy or meat goats both in temperate and tropical conditions and will refer to quantitative aspects of the diet as well as to qualitative components (effects of plant secondary metabolites on worm biology).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the frequency of anthelmintic resistance in sheep farms in different countries of the American continent and described some aspects that might influence the trend in the sheep farms.

TL;DR: As for some temperate forage, some tropical tanniniferous plants (TTP) from browsing might represent an alternative to chemical anthelmintic for the control of H. contortus after confirmation based on in vivo studies.

TL;DR: Targeted nutritional supplementation is focused on as a means to reduce the requirement for chemotherapeutic control of gastrointestinal nematode infection of small ruminants and considers the limitations to practical application.

TL;DR: Goats represent a valuable model to explore the relationships between the three possible strategies to control nematode infection through nutrition: increasing the immune response; avoiding the infective larvae; and selecting plants with direct anthelmintic properties (self medication).
