Abstract
SUMMARYForty-eight 4-month-old lambs, reared worm-free from birth, were allocated to six groups and offered ad libitum a complete diet containing 139 g crude protein/kg D.M. One group was killed at the outset as initial control (CI). Further groups, ALC, 1, 2, 3 and 4 were dosed daily for 84 days with zero, 1000, 3000, 5000 and 5000 larvae of Ostertagia circumcincta, respectively. Lambs in group 4 also received anthelmintic (fenbendazole, 5 mg/kg) on days 21, 42, 63 and 84. Lambs were killed after 98 days and their carcasses and those of the initial controls analysed for fat, protein and mineral contents.
