Sheep production has serious problems due to the spread of intestinal  parasites. These parasites cause loss of appetite, maldigestion, slow growth  in body weight and wool, all of which results in economic losses as well. The  control measures of infestation with strongyloid parasites in ruminants have  until now been based mainly on the organization of grazing and the use of  antihelmintics. However, due to the occurrence of resistance, alternative  methods of control have been introduced. The use of nematophagous fungus  Duddingtonia flagrans, which is capable of decreasing the number of  infectious larvae and eggs in feces, has been successful. The aim of this  study was to determine whether Duddingtonia flagrans decreases the number of  eggs of Trichostrongylus spp in sheep feces. Fecal samples of thirty-four  sheep were examined and the parasites were found in twelve sheep, six of  which were fed with the fungus, and six of which were used as the control.  According to χ2 test, at the level of certainty of p<0,005, a statistically  important difference in the number of eggs was observed between the sheep  which were given the fungus and those which were not
