Title: | Worm egg counts in lambs decreased after administration of long acting anthelmintics to ewes | Contributor(s): | Dever, Michelle (author); Kahn, Lewis (author) ; Doyle, Emma (author) ; Walkden-Brown, Steve W (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/18742 | Abstract: | Background: One strategy for providing good worm control and to reduce pasture larval contamination is to administer long-acting anthelmintics to lactating ewes. We have previously observed a decrease in the period of protection against 'Haemonchus contortus' in lactating ewes for long-acting anthelmintics on farms with known ML and BZ resistance. Excretion of long-acting anthelmintics in milk has been reported, which may account for our observations of a reduced period of protection in lactating ewes. Hypothesis - The elimination of a proportion of the active constituents of anthelmintics in milk will cause a reduction in worm egg counts (WEC) for untreated lambs, suckling ewes treated with anthelmintics. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ASP Annual Conference 2014: Australian Society for Parasitology Annual Conference, Canberra, Australia, 30th June - 3rd July, 2014 | Source of Publication: | Australian Society for Parasitology Annual Conference Poster | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070708 Veterinary Parasitology | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300909 Veterinary parasitology | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool 830310 Sheep - Meat |
