Moisture effects development through rainfall amount and timing, but soil moisture may also be important. Larval development occurs within the faecal pellet and effects of moisture must occur through faecal moisture content (FMC). An experiment was conducted in a temperature-controlled incubator to determine the effect of soil moisture content and water application timing and amount on FMC. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | WAAVP 2011: 23rd International Conference of the World Association of the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology - Towards good management practices in parasite control, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 21st - 25th August, 2011 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference of the World Association of the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology | Publisher: | Asociacion Argentina de Parasitologia Veterinaria (AAPAVET) | Place of Publication: | Buenos Aires, Argentina | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070708 Veterinary Parasitology 070205 Animal Protection (Pests and Pathogens) |
