[Alpacasite] Re: Parasite control

David,

Outstanding link. Much was exactly what Dr Pugh was saying during
his recent parasite workshop.

Concerning the comment: "Sheep brought from western US have little
or no resistance to parasites, because of low parasite pressure due
to dry and cool conditions. If importing sheep from the west, they
will have to go through a period of resistance development, which
would be very stressful for them."

Interesting in that several farms I know have "imported" llamas from
the west-coast and what was acceptable levels of parasites in their
own herd - proved to be border-line deadly to the new additions -
which has no resistance at all to local parasites.

Again, many thanks for the link - outstanding article.

Warmest Regards,
Lisa
