TLDR
More basic knowledge of animal nutrition and GIN epidemiology under hot humid and subhumid tropical conditions is needed to improve the applicability of nutritional strategies for the control of GIN infections.About:

Book ChapterDOI
Diagnosis, Treatment and Management of Haemonchus contortus in Small Ruminants
TL;DR: Effective preventative programmes vary depending on environments and enterprise types, and according to the scale of the haemonchosis risk and the local epidemiology of infections, but should aim to prevent disease outbreaks while maintaining anthelmintic efficacy.
Book ChapterDOI
Interactions Between Nutrition and Infections With Haemonchus contortus and Related Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Small Ruminants.
Hervé Hoste,Juan Felipe de Jesús Torres-Acosta,Jessica Quijada,I. Chan-Perez,Mohammed M. Dakheel,D.S. Kommuru,Irene Mueller-Harvey,Thomas H Terrill +7 more
TL;DR: This chapter illustrates the relationship between quantitative and qualitative aspects of host nutrition and nematode infection, and shows how basic studies aimed at addressing some generic questions can help to provide solutions, despite the considerable diversity of epidemiological situations and breeding systems.

Breeding for resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes – the potential in low-input/output small ruminant production systems
P. I. Zvinorova,P. I. Zvinorova,Tinyiko Edward Halimani,Farai C. Muchadeyi,Oswald Matika,Valentina Riggio,Kennedy Dzama +6 more
TL;DR: Resistance to anthelmintics in small ruminants is documented worldwide and selection for resistant hosts can be considered a sustainable control strategy.

Using plant bioactive materials to control gastrointestinal tract helminths in livestock
Carlos A. Sandoval-Castro,Juan Felipe de Jesús Torres-Acosta,Hervé Hoste,Hervé Hoste,Abdelfattah Z.M. Salem,Abdelfattah Z.M. Salem,José Israel Chan-Pérez +6 more
TL;DR: Results of various plant bioactive materials against helminth parasites in the gastrointestinal tract of cattle, deer, rabbits, pigs and poultry are summarized, and it is concluded that many plant materials have resulted in promising results in many farm animal species besides sheep and goats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed grazing systems of sheep and cattle to improve liveweight gain: a quantitative review
TL;DR: A meta-analysis was performed on the results of previous studies from the literature to quantify the benefit of mixed grazing with sheep and cattle and identify determinants and enhancing factors.

Journal ArticleDOI
Standardization of procedures for nitrogen fractionation of ruminant feeds
TL;DR: The Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein Model (Chalupa et al., 1991) has developed the need for uniform procedures to partition feed nitrogen into A, B, and C fractions (Pichard and Van Soest, 1977) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trade‐offs in evolutionary immunology: just what is the cost of immunity?
TL;DR: It is concluded that sufficient evidence exists to support the primary assumption that immunological defences are costly to the vertebrate host and how costly it might be for a host who is forced to up-regulate its immunological defence mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of tannin-rich plants on parasitic nematodes in ruminants.
TL;DR: More research is required to understand better the mechanisms of action of plant-derived bioactive substances, and therefore make more pertinent use of these bioactive plants in livestock systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition-parasite interaction
R.L. Coop,Ilias Kyriazakis +1 more
TL;DR: The framework is useful at highlighting areas of future research on host/parasite/nutrition interactions and can account for the observations of the periparturient relaxation of immunity in reproduced females, as well as the reduction in worm burden in small ruminants supplemented with additional protein.
