Genetic parameters for resistance to Haemonchus contortus in Merino sheep in South Africa.

Journal of the South African Veterinary Association - 1 Mar 2002

Nieuwoudt S W, Theron H E, Krüger L P

Abstract excerpt

Resistance to natural infections of Haemonchus contortus (wireworm) was studied in Merino sheep. From February 1995 to July 1996 data were collected from the OTK Merino Stud on the farm Wildebeesfontein near Hendrina in Mpumalanga province. From March 1998 to January 2000 another Merino flock at Irene in Gauteng province was included in the study. In both cases, 50 randomly-chosen animals from each group of lambs...
