Abstract

Based on the parasites’ population dynamic, while acting on animal groups and “its feeding, several programs have been created in order to control specific regions, which concentrates the “vermifugações” during the dry station, trying to eliminate the animals’ parasites, and, most of all, prevent any environmental contamination through their free lives seasons, on the next rainy season. These strategical programs intend to control the parasites among groups of animals, while they are in a low number, which happens during the dry season. This same control, in another ecosystems, must be adjusted to the weather conditions of each region, intending to always concentrate the “vermifugação” on the dry season. In Demonstratives Units leaded by “Assentamentos do Programa de Reforma Agrária no estado do Ceará” areas, the usage of this program has clearly shown a positive impact on the meat production, once compared to the control group.
