Effect of sheep grazing practices on the endoparasite population that can be recorded on grassland
17-23Views:96Sampling for the occurrence of internal parasites of sheep was carried out in three extensively cultivated Achilleo - Festucetum pseudovinae grass communities with different grazing systems but with the same site conditions, in 2022 - 2023, at the MATE Research Institute in Karcag, Hungary. The sheep grazing regimes studied were: pastoral grazing, rotational grazing, and permanent, delta - forest grazing used on all grazing days. Microscopic analysis of the genomes and numbers of potentially infective oviposition and L3 larval stage endoparasites in sheep pastures was carried out on samples of faecal matter from grazed pastures and grass samples prepared using a 'larval feeder'. Our research objective was to clarify the effect of different sheep grazing practices on parasite infestation in a semi - natural grassland community with a solonyec soil composition.

Parasite control with Red Chicory extract
27-29.Views:192Authors conducted studies in 2021 at the sheep farm of Karcag Research Institute. Searching for methodologies to reduce endoparasitosis. Traditional medical application of weed roots, with a focus on tannin and inulin content were tested. Extracts from Cichorium intybus and Cichorium intybus var. foliosum were made and administered to infected ewes. Strongylus sp. eggs significantly reduced after treatment due to inulin and tannin content. Further experiments should be reveal whether dried or diluted extracts are more efficient.
