Selective breeding for the control of nematodiasis in sheep.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics) - 1 Jun 1990

Windon R G

Abstract excerpt

Genetic manipulation of sheep by selective breeding offers a means to reduce the current reliance on chemotherapy for the control of gastro-intestinal nematodes. Simulated epidemiological studies support this view as, compared to lambs of 'normal' susceptibility, those 'selected' for resistance to Trichostrongylus colubriformis have lower worm burdens and reduced production losses. Considerable genetic variation...
