Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was investigated using monthly faecal samples and necropsy data in sheep treated regularly and irregularly at ILCA, Debre Berhan station. Maximum infection rates with nematodes, fasciola and coccidia in the irregularly treated sheep were 18 percent, 10 per...

Presents a study conducted in five different sites, Debre Berhan, Dejen, Deneba, Tulu Meko and Wereilu in the highlands of Ethiopia, from June 1988 to December 1989, to determine the prevalences of endoparasites of the highland sheep in Ethiopia. Analyses data to determine nematode log egg counts...

Presents results of a study undertaken to investigate the relationship of Packed Cell Volume (PCV) and Eggs Per Gram (EPG) to performance, and to estimate the repeatibility of the two measurements in a monthly parasite monitoring scheme. Includes data on body score, live weight of milk teeth male...

Presents a study of endoparasite productivity in sheep carried out at Debre Berhan, Dejen, Tulu Meko and Wereilu in the Ethiopian highlands in 1988 and 1989. Determines the association between some indicators of endoparasitism with productivity. Presents data on the relative association of EPG an...

In 1988 and 1989, the effects of endoparasites on reproductive performance of on-farm sheep were studied at 5 sites in the Ethiopian highlands using nematode eggs per gram (EPG) counts, treamatode EPG and packed-cell volume (PCV). Mean litter size, lambing interval, annual reproductive rate and a...

Examines the effect of four levels of nutrition (poor, low, medium, and high) with or without endoparasitic treatment (drenching) on postweaning growth, survival and onset of puberty in Menz ewe lambs. A concentrate mixture providing 2.5 Mcal/kg dry matter (DM) metabolizable energy and 15.2 g/kg ...
