Resistance of Sabi and Dorper ewes to gastro-intestinal nematode infections in an African semi-arid environment
Sabi and Dorper ewes were evaluated for resistance to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites (predominantly Haemonchus contortus) at the Matopos Research Station in Zimbabwe. Live weights (LWT), blood packed red cell volume (PCV) and faecal egg counts (FEC) were recorded at mating, 1 month before lamb...
