Enhancing immunity to nematode parasites in single-bearing Merino ewes through nutrition and genetic selection.

Veterinary parasitology - 10 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

The effectiveness of protein supplementation and genetic selection to enhance the resistance of periparturient Merino ewes to infection from gastrointestinal parasites was tested in a replicated grazing experiment. One hundred and twenty ewes from lines selected for increased resistance (R) to Haemonchus contortus or at random (C) were subjected to one of the three supplement groups that provided 0 or 250 g per...
