De-Worming of Animals:
According to a careful estimate, 42% animals are affected by different types of worms.
The worms adversely affect efficiency of the animals and cause a financial loss to their owners.
The worms in animals are more in those areas where animals graze more,than in those areas where animals graze less.
![Page 4: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cont…. There are more worms in those animals
which eat dried feed than in those which eat green fodder.
Similarly more worms are found in younger animals than in older ones.
One important reason of lesser rate of growth in younger animals in Pakistan is the presence of worms in them.

Signs of worm infested Animals:DiarrhoeaLoss of weightSoil licking and eating pieces of clothDelay in pubertyWeakness and slow growthDecrease in milk productionDeath at an early ageThin and rough skin

Types of Worms:
Worms are usually of two types:
1. Internal parasites (worms)
2. External parasites
![Page 7: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Internal Parasites (Worms):
According to an estimate, the mortality rate among the younger animals of 6 months to one year old due to internal worms is 25-30%.
Internal worms include round worms, stomach worms, lung worms, liver flukes and intestinal worms.
![Page 8: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Worms of stomach and intestines:These worms attack the animals mostly at the
end of the summer season and the beginning of the winter season.
They stick to the walls of the stomach and intestines and suck the blood of the animal.
Symptoms:Animals become anaemicThe animals take up more feed, yet become weakerLoss of water in the body, diarrhea and sometimes presence of blood in excretionsRough and dry skin

Lung Worms:
These worms grow in the lungs or in the trachea/windpipe.
Their presence causes swelling in the trachea/windpipe
and the animal breathes with difficulty.
Symptoms:CoughingPhlegm in nostrilsPneumonia is possibleThe animal breathes with open mouth in case of
intensity of sickness

Liver flukes:
These worms are flat like a leaf. They occur mostly in animals residing in areas
affected by water-logging and salinity. When animals swim in polluted ponds and
drink their water, these worms go into the stomach.
Their larvae reach the liver of the animals through blood vessels.

Symptoms:The animal becomes weaker and thinner and
produces less milkBlurry eyesHair fallSwelling of the body part between the fore
limbs, on the neck and under the jaws
![Page 12: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
External Parasites:
These parasites are found on external skin. Mostly blood-sucking parasites.
Cause spread of fatal diseases in the animals.
They include lice, ticks, flies and mosquitoes, etc.
![Page 13: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ticks:These parasites not only suck the blood of the
animals but also cause the spread of fatal diseases.
They are mostly found on the softer parts of the animals’ skin like the udder and between the legs.
A very dangerous disease Theleriosis (tick fever) is due to the fever caused by ticks.
![Page 14: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Symptoms:The animal becomes weak because of loss of blood.
Their skin becomes rough and dry.
Milk production decreases.
The animal becomes restless.
The possibility of abortion rises.
Paralysis attack is possible.
Holes appear on the skin and they become likewounds.

Lice:
Lice are of two kinds:1. Biting lice 2. Blood-sucking liceThe lice stick to the skin of the animals and their eggs
stick to their hair.
Symptoms:
Animal shows restlessness. Animal becomes weak.Continuous scratching or rubbing of the skin with the
walls makes the skin red and these scratches become wounds.

Control of Parasites:
Keep animals’ sheds clean.There should not be any holes/cracks in the
walls or roofs.Spray sheds with insecticides after removing
the animals from their sheds.De- worm animals regularly.Whitewash the water troughs of the animals
with limestone powder for protection against microbes.

Selection of De -Wormer:
These points should be kept in mind when de-wormer are being chosen:
Determine the quantity of the medicine according to the weight of the animal.
Easy to administerChoosing the most effective medicineLess expensivePersonal safetyEffectiveness of the medicine / A reliable
company

De-worming
(sometimes known as worming or drenching) is the giving of an anthelmintic drug (a wormer, de-wormer, or drench) to an animal to rid it of intestinal parasites.
such as roundworm and tapeworm.
De-wormers for use in livestock are often formulated as a liquid that is squirted into the back of the animal's mouth, as an injectable, or as a pour-on which can be applied to the animal's topline.
![Page 19: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Anthelmintics or Anthelmintics
are drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) from the body, by either stunning or killing them.
They may also be called vermifuges (stunning) or vermicides (killing).

Antihelminthics:
Albendazole – effective against threadworms, roundworms, whipworms, tapeworms, hookworms
Mebendazole – effective against pinworms, roundworms and hookworms
Thiabendazole – effective against roundworms, hookworms
Fenbendazole – effective against gastrointestinal parasites
Triclabendazole – effective against liver flukes

Cont…Flubendazole – effective against most
intestinal parasites
Niclosamide – effective against tapeworms
Ivermectin – effective against most common intestinal worms .

Mode of action of Antihelminthics drugs
Levamisole, pyrantel and morantel: are agonists at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of nematode muscle and cause spastic paralysis.
Piperazine: is a GABA (gamma-amino-butyric acid) agonist at receptors on nematode muscles and causes flaccid paralysis.
avermectins: increase the opening of glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels and produce paralysis of pharyngeal pumping.
![Page 24: De worming of animals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062512/5549676cb4c905d8558b49df/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Praziquantel: has a selective effect on the tegument of trematodes and increases permeability of calcium.
Benzimidazole: drugs bind selectively to beta-tubulin of nematodes, cestodes and fluke, and inhibit microtubule formation.

Control of worms with wormecide
This involved the strategic use of anthelmntics at the following periods in the year :
1- preventive treatment early in the raining season.
2- Treatment mid season and early dry season to reduce pasture contamination .
