Experiments on the influence of egg density and varying quantities of chlamydospores on the nematode-trapping ability of Duddingtonia flagrans, influence of D. flagrans on the larval translation of gastrointestinal nematodes, doses of chlamydospores required for the effective control of gastrointestinal nematodosis and the epidemiology of nematode parasites were conducted in goats, which generated baseline data required for strategic application of the biocontrol agent. The nematode-trapping ability of D. flagrans, measured by numerical enumeration of infective third-stage larvae developed in the faecal culture, revealed that the efficacy is dependent on both nematode egg and chlamydospore density. Pasture plot studies revealed that D. flagrans, if deposited at the same time as nematode eggs, prevents translation of third-stage larvae of caprine nematodes from the faecal pats onto the grass blades. Feeding of 1 x 106 chlamydospores per kg body weight and above to goats virtually eliminated larvae from the pasture. Application of as few as 1 x 104 and 1 x 105 chlamydospores per kg body weight had a profound impact on larval recovery. The effect persisted as long as the chlamydospores were fed. Monthly faecal worm egg counts of adult goats maintained under a semi-intensive management system on the Chhattisgarh plain and pasture larval burden revealed that June to August were the months of high risk for nematodosis. Haemonchus was the dominant species recorded throughout the year. The present data can best be utilized by formulating a strategic control measure when the larval challenge to the animal is maximum (June to August), so as to prevent establishment of patent infection. The observations reinforced the strategy to be adopted for nematode parasite control in goats by applying the biocontrol option at the onset of the monsoon.
