The aim in this experiment was to examine the effects of prepartum supplementation, fat score (FS) and gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection on whole-body composition of twin-bearing and rearing Merino ewes. These effects were then related to lam

The benefit of providing prepartum protein supplementation to twin-bearing Merino ewes with low and high fat score (FS; measure of soft tissue depth related to fatness) was investigated to quantify effects on host resilience and immunity to Haemonchu

The interaction between prepartum protein supplementation and fat score (FS) of twin-bearing Merino ewes was investigated in order to confirm strategies that improve maternal production and pre-weaning lamb growth. The experiment was conducted from d

Resistance to an acute gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection is dependent on the ability of the host to recognise the parasite and mount a protective Th2 response. It is hypothesised that lambs which are genetically susceptible to GIN will differ

The temporal association between the periparturient rise (PPR) in worm egg count (WEC) of grazing Merino ewes to infection with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and the underlying causal mechanisms was investigated in an experiment that incorporated tw

To characterize the role of a range of oxidant, antioxidant and mucous-related genes in the primary response to gastrointestinal nematodes, groups of genetically resistant sheep were challenged with either Haemonchus contortus or Trichostrongylus col

Gastrointestinal nematode infections of livestock animals are prevalent and costly problems worldwide. Currently, infections are controlled by anthelmintic chemicals but increasing drug resistance has prompted research interest to shift towards alter

Nematode-resistance of an animal can be defined as an enhanced natural ability, relative to its peers, to both prevent establishment of larval nematodes and evict any that do establish. These parameters are not measurable in a practical sense and con

In merino sheep bred for either increased or decreased resistance to Haemonchus contortus, faecal worm egg counts (FEC) were lower in the resistant line (6,831 vs 17,645 epg, P0.01), and circulating eosinophils (EOS) were higher, but not significantl

The effects of protein supplementation and infection with Trichostrongylus colubriformis on production responses and immune function in young sheep and on nematode population dynamics were assessed. Eighty-four 3-month-old Merino wether sheep were ho
