Summary: Parasitic diseases caused by tick Rhipicephafus (Boophilus) micropfus, gastrointestinal nematode (Haemonchus contortus) and Staphyfococcus aureus (mastitis pathogen) are one of the main barriers to develop livestock in large scale. For many years, the indiscriminate use of veterinary drugs as carrapaticides, anthelmintics and antibiotics leaded to resistance increase by parasites. As a direct consequence of this practice, farmers have increased applications doses, contributing to the contamination of meat, milk and environment.
