Parasitic infections with gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) still represent a worldwide major
pathological threat associated with the outdoor production of various livestock species …

This paper examines the nutritional and veterinary effects of tannins on ruminants and
makes some comparisons with non-ruminants. Tannin chemistry per se is not covered and …

Fully revised and expanded, Goat Medicine, Second Edition includes discussions on new
diseases ranging from bovine spongiform encephalopathy to floppy kid disease as well as …

Apart from the obvious role of plants in herbivore nutrition, they are also a rich source of
bioactive products that can operate either to the benefit or the detriment of grazing animals …

Interactions between host nutrition and feeding behaviour are central to understanding the
pathophysiological consequences of infections of the digestive tract with parasitic …

Collectively, nematode parasites of domestic ruminants continue to pose the greatest
disease problem in grazing livestock systems worldwide, despite the powerful and extensive …

Parasitic nematodes of the digestive tract remain one of the main constraints to goat
production both in temperate and tropical countries. The usual mode of control of these …

For most smallholder farmers in Kenya conventional veterinary drugs have become very
expensive and therefore unaffordable, causing them to seek low cost alternatives that are …

Infection with gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), particularly Haemonchus contortus, is the
biggest constraint to profitable goat production in the United States (US). Due to widespread …

The structural changes induced in adult Haemonchus contortus after in vitro and in vivo
contact with a tannin-rich (TR) plant, either tzalam (Lysiloma latisiliquum) or sainfoin …
