Abstract
Sheep dosed Ostertagia larvae at rates of 2000, 8000, 32 000, or 128 000 each were killed 24 days later. Counts of adult worms from the abomasum showed a maximum in the 8000 group. A maximum for immatures at higher dose rates, although not confirmed statistically, appears likely. High between-animal variations were noted.Keywords
