Most important diseases of grazing animals are infections with gastro-intestinal nematodes which causing economical losses by reduced apetite, maldigestion and weight loss. Control measures are rotation of pasture and use of antihelmintic treatment, but the first are expensive and second is problematic, because worldwide numerous reports on antihelmintic resistance, particularly in sheep and goats. Nematophagous fungi were described to offer abilities to reduce pasture contamination and therefore reduce the infection pressure. The reduction on herbage will subsequently prevent the build-up of worm burdens in hosts, which otherwise would cause subclinical or clinical response, in particular in young animals. Most effective fungi is Duddingtonia flagrans. Use of this fungi in feeding of livestock, for parasite reduction, will be, in the feature, very important measure. At ecological aspects, it will be very safety, for humans and animals, too.
