“…The first report of anthelmintic resistance in India was by Varashney and Singh (1976) against phenothiazine and thiabandazole in H. contortus of sheep from Rishikesh (Uttarakhand). Subsequently anthelmintic resistance was reported in goat GINs from different parts of the country against different anthelmintics ( Uppal et al, 1992 ; Gill, 1996 ; Ram et al, 2007 ; Godara et al, 2011 ; Jaiswal et al, 2013 ; Chandra et al, 2015 ), however, there is no report from north most temperate region, Kashmir, of India, barring three reports in sheep GINs ( Nasreen et al, 2007 ; Itoo et al, 2012 ; Shahardar et al, 2014 ). In Jammu and Kashmir total small ruminant population is 6,195,000 ( Anonymous, 2007 ) with 267,000 goats in the Kashmir province ( Anonymous, 2011 ).…”
