Abstract
Grazing management is of paramount importance in the control of nematode worms in sheep at pasture. Experiments show that, starting with a clean sward, it is possible by rapid folding to prevent re-infection altogether and keep infestation so low that little or no damage occurs. Worm-free lambs can also be raised in this way. But difficulties arise in practice, and both management and anthelmintic treatments will normally be required.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
