Infections with gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) remain a major threat for ruminant
production, health and welfare associated with outdoor breeding. The control of these …

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

Parasitic nematodes of the gastrointestinal tract remain a major constraint associated with
the breeding of small ruminants under grazing/browsing conditions. Until now, control of …

This paper focuses on targeted nutritional supplementation as a means to reduce the
requirement for chemotherapeutic control of gastrointestinal nematode infection of small …

Compared to sheep, goats seem to develop a low immune response against the parasitic
nematodes of the gastrointestinal tract. Nevertheless, some variability in the host response …

The generally warm, moist environmental conditions in the southern United States (US) are
ideal for survival and growth of the egg and larval stages of Haemonchus contortus and …

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) could have a negative impact on the nutritional efficiency
and productivity of sheep and goats. However, feeding of the hosts can also affect parasites …

The sustainable use of the tropical deciduous forest (TDF) during co-grazing of sheep and
goats is a complex paradigm. To unveil the latter, an important step is to identify which plants …

It is increasingly being recognized that non-chemical parasite control strategies may need to
be combined to control more effectively gastrointestinal parasitism, result in resilient …

Data from a targeted selective treatment (TST) survey in three sheep farms was used to
