Gastrointestinal Parasitism In Goats - Bionomics Of The Suprapopulation And Incidence In Young Goats

The Modified Parfitt's Technique (MPT) is used to assess the concentration of infective nematode larvae on pasture which gives an indication of the infection to which grazing animals are exposed . Validation of this technique showed that it was not successful when applied in the field and varia...
