【 摘 要 】

With the objective to evaluate the feasibility of the use of FAMACHA© color card in the detection of anemia, 70 goats were used. These animals were grazed in a silvopastoral system around 9 hours daily (Dichrostachys cinerea- complex Dichantium spp., Brotriochloa spp.). During 2 month, the colour of the ocular mucosa was determined (CMO) according to the scale of FAMACHA© color card. Besides, faecal and blood samples were extracted from each animals to determine the faecal strongyle egg count, genera by coprocultures and packed cell volume (PCV) through centrifugation. The correlation coefficient (Spearman) between the VCA and the values FAMACHA© card was -0, 58. Sensitivity and specificity for 4 and 5 FAMACHA© card values and PCV =19% as indicator of anemia were 91% and 62.4%, respectively. The predictive value of a negative case was of 91.3%, whereas the predictive value of a positive case value was 45, 7%. On the other hand, the animals with category 4 and 5 showed the highest faecal egg count, but no differences among groups were detected. The results indicate that the FAMACHA methodology© can be a useful tool in the detection of anemia in goats under our condition.
