Alphonce
(a) Controlling the density of livestock (stocking rate). Overstocking forces the animals to graze closer to faecal material and closer to the ground, and may result in the consumption of a higher number of infective larvae.
(b) Periodic deworming.
(c) Strategic deworming when conditions are most favourable for larval development on the pasture.
(d) Separating age groups in the more intensive production systems.
(e) Reducing the effects of gastro-intestinal parasites by assuring an adequate plane of nutrition. Control programmers should reduce the effect of parasites to sub-economic levels.
(f) Using grazing management to minimize the uptake of infective larvae and to create safe pastures.
