, and are the genera of gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes most prevalent in cattle and constitute a serious problem in cattle breeding due to the impact they have on meat and milk production and the high costs of control measures. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the efficiency of Bioverm () in the control of gastrointestinal parasitism of young cattle raised in the field, in the Central-West region of Brazil. The experiment was conducted on a farm located in the municipality of Jangada, MT, where 18 cattle, Nelore and Aberdeen Angus breeds, aged six to ten months, were randomly divided into two groups (treated group and control group) and distributed in paddocks of , naturally infested by larvae of gastrointestinal nematodes.

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the efficiency of Bioverm fungal formulation (-AC001) in controlling and in sheep. In vitro predation tests were carried out in Petri dishes containing agar culture medium 2%. Four experimental groups were formed, with five replicates each: Group 1: 1 g of and 1000 third-stage larvae (L) of ; Group 2: 1000 L of ; Group 3: 1 g of and 1000 L of ; and Group 4: 1000 L of .
