Threshold levels of artificial infection with Haemonchus contortus impacting lamb physiology and production

Abstract This study examined the effects of levels of artificial Haemonchus contortus infection on lamb behaviour and physiology. Forty 6-month-old Romney-cross wethers were assigned to one of four treatments (n = 10/treatment): 8000 L3 larvae (High; H), 4000 L3 larvae (Medium; M), 1000 L3 larvae (L...
