Genetic parameters for faecal egg count following mixed, natural, predominantly Ostertagia circumcinta infection and relationships with live weight in young lambs
(1996-12)
Faecal egg counts and live weights were measured on approximately 200 predominantly twin-born Scottish Blackface lambs each year for 3 years, from 2 to 6 months of age. Measurements were made at 4-week intervals following ...
An ovine lymphocyte antigen is associated with reduced faecal egg counts in four-month-old lambs following natural, predominantly Ostertagia circumcincta infection
(1996-04)
Ten lymphocyte antigens were defined in a flock of Scottish Blackface sheep known to be naturally exposed to infection with Ostertagia circumcincta. Population and family studies suggested that the 10 antigens were products ...
Influence of soyabean meal supplementation on the resistance of Scottish Blackface lambs to haemonchosis
(1996-03)
Protein supplementation improves the resistance of sheep to haemonchosis. This experiment investigated the Scottish blackface breed to establish whether dietary protein supplementation is still beneficial in a genetically ...
