Funded Activity Summary

Advancing chicken helminthology for sustainable worm control . Worm infections are a serious disease problem in free-range chicken production systems which now dominate egg production in Australia. This project aims to improve the control of worm infections of chickens by developing new tools for poultry researchers, advisors and farmers to use for this purpose. The project expects to develop novel methods for laboratory-based anthelmintic drug resistance testing, maintenance of defined worm strains and diagnosis of infection. It will also determine the effectiveness of mass treatment in the field and the prevalence of anthelmintic resistance. Use of these tools and information will improve worm control and thus the productivity and welfare of free-range chickens in Australia and worldwide.
