Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to show the existence of genetic variability in resistance of Creole goats to natural infection with intestinal nematodes. Four successive cohorts of male and female kids were reared from weaning during 9 months in intensive pangola pastures (stocking rate 1.4 t/ha, regrowth of 21 days, 300 kg N/ ha/year of fertilization). All cohorts considered, 203 offsprings from 13 bucks and...
