A Study of the Gastro-intestinal Worm Burden in Grazing Ewes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Extract
The worm burden in grazing ewes was studied. Analysis of the results showed that correcting worm egg counts (e.p.g. fresh faeces) for variations in faecal D.M. content and in total faeces output is not of any great benefit unless precise information is available.
Data are also presented which suggest that under normal circumstances variations in the sub-clinical worm burden of adult grazing ewes are not related to any variations in food intake.
