This study is evaluating the resistance of Red Maasai sheep to endoparasite infections relative to Dorper sheep and a range of Red Maasai x Dorper crosses. The results confirm previous reports that both Red Maasai ewes and lambs are more resistant to endoparasites (predominantly Haemonchus contor...

Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites in Red Maasai sheep in Kenya
A study was carried out from 1992 to 1996 to compare the resistance to naturally acquired gastro intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) of Galla and Small East African goats in the sub humid coastal region of Kenya. A total of 204 Galla and 349 Small Eas...

This Report compares the efficacies of three anthelmintics, each belonging to one of the broad spectrum groups. It also identifies the genera of resistant worms through larval culture. The study was conducted on a commercial farm where anthelmintics had been used intensively. The results show cle...

Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites in some indigenous breeds of sheep and goats in Kenya
Red Maasai [Masai] and Dorper sheep were evaluated for their resistance to gastrointestinal nematode parasites (predominantly Haemonchus contortus), productivity and efficiency in experiments undertaken at the Kenyan coast (humid environment) and the Kenya highlands (semiarid environment). It was...

Resistance and resilience to naturally acquired gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) were studied in 1785 lambs born over six lambings (1991 to 1996) consisting of 212 Red Maasai, 311 Dorper and 1262 crossbred (Red Maasai-Dorper) lambs in the su...
