Manure in organic dairy goat farms will be sampled and nematode prevalence will monitored during the grazing season of 2015. On an experimental farm (Agr-Vet), 20 young goats will be raised and infected with the nematodes found on the farms.

A laboratory kit will be developed to allow a quick screening of the anthelmintic characteristics of indigenous plant species. During a feed trail on the 20 goats, the anthelmintic potential of the selected indigenous plants will be evaluated.
