Abstract
Gastro-intestinal nematodes are among the most important infections in livestock particularly
sheep and goats. Conventional approaches including medication, pasture rotation, sanitation and
improved nutrition are no more effective because of the anthelmintic resistance. A potential alternative
measure to alleviate the problem is breeding for disease resistance with the goal of enhancing resistance
to diseases and selection of livestock with natural or acquired resistance to disease.
