Genetic resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites in red Maasai, Dorper and Red Maasai X Dorper ewes in the sub-humid tropics
Resistance to naturally acquired gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasite infections (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) was studied in 166 Red Maasai; 230 Dorper and 294 crossbred (Red Maasai X Dorper) ewes in the sub-humid coastal region of Kenya. Live weights (LWT), blood packed-cell volume (PCV...
