Infestation with the sheep body louse (Bovicola ovis) in Merino lines divergently selected for maternal multiple rearing ability.

Journal of the South African Veterinary Association - 1 Jun 2003

Cloete S W P, Laubscher J M, Cloete J J E

Abstract excerpt

Data were obtained from a population consisting of 160 Merino ewes, as well as 64 male and 75 female progeny of these ewes at the 2-tooth age. The age and sex groups were maintained in separate flocks. The population has been divergently selected from the same base since 1986, either for (high or H line) or against (low or L line) maternal multiple rearing ability. All animals were inspected for sheep lice...
