🐑Wireworm (Haemonchus contortus) – A Silent Killer of Sheep & Goats in South Africa

Did you know that Haemonchus contortus, commonly known as the wireworm or barber's pole worm, is one of the most economically important internal parasites affecting sheep and goats in South Africa?

This blood-sucking parasite lives in the abomasum (true stomach) and can cause severe blood loss, leading to anemia, poor production, and even sudden death if left untreated.

🔍 Signs to Watch For
✅ Pale eyelids and gums (anemia)
✅ "Bottle jaw" (swelling beneath the jaw)
✅ Weakness and lethargy
✅ Weight loss and poor growth
✅ Reduced milk production
✅ Sudden death in severe cases

⚠️ Unlike many other worms, affected animals may not always have diarrhea, making early detection even more important.

🛡️ Prevention & Control
✔️ Perform regular FAMACHA© scoring to identify anemic animals that require treatment.
✔️ Rotate grazing camps to reduce pasture contamination.
✔️ Avoid overstocking.
✔️ Ensure adequate nutrition to support immunity.
✔️ Conduct regular faecal egg count monitoring.
✔️ Use dewormers responsibly and strategically to reduce the development of anthelmintic resistance.
✔️ Quarantine and deworm newly purchased animals before introducing them into your flock.

🌧️ When Is the Risk Highest?
Wireworm thrives during warm and wet conditions, particularly after rainfall. Farmers should increase monitoring during these periods.

👨‍⚕️ A Veterinary Herd Health Programme Makes the Difference
A tailored parasite control programme developed by your veterinarian can:�• Reduce production losses�• Improve flock health and fertility�• Slow the development of dewormer resistance�• Increase profitability

Protect your flock before losses occur. Prevention is always more cost-effective than treatment.
