Here are some general tips and guidelines to keep sheep healthy and avoid internal worm problems:


1. Vaccination program: Make sure to implement the appropriate vaccination program for sheep according to the recommendations of the specialized veterinarian. Vaccines that protect against common diseases can enhance the health of sheep and reduce the possibility of contracting diseases that may increase their susceptibility to internal worms.


2. Cleanliness of pastures and shelters: Keep the pastures and shelters where sheep are located clean. Make sure to remove sheep droppings regularly to avoid their accumulation and contamination of pastures with worms and eggs.


3. Pasture rotation: Implement a pasture rotation system for sheep between different pastures. This helps to avoid the accumulation of worms and reduces the possibility of transmission between sheep and the spread of infection.


4. Sludge management: Avoid having sheep in areas dirty with sludge or mud, as the chance of contamination with worm eggs is high. It may be better to provide a dry and clean area for sheep to sleep and rest.

7. Consult a veterinarian: Work with a specialized veterinarian and consult him about general health programs, disease management and appropriate treatment for your flock of sheep.


Remember that prevention is always better than cure. By constantly paying attention to the health of sheep and following preventive practices, the possibility of contracting internal worms can be reduced and their overall well-being improved.
