The effects of breed (Menz and Horro), season (wet and dry), and the breed by season interaction on production and response to naturally acquired gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Longistrongylus elongata and Trichostrongylus spp. and a small proportion of Haemonc...

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...

Formulation of cost-effective preventive control programmes for helminth infection in small ruminants should be based on sound epidemiological knowledge of the time relationship between contamination of pastures and the seasonal availability of infective larvae in a given geographic area. Epidemi...
