Abstract
1. It has proved possible to operate a ‘worm-free’ area in which sheep grazing experiments can be carried out, without significant interference from disease.2. The organization of such a unit is described and the results are presented in terms of the problems and difficulties which have been encountered during 4 years of continuous and increasing use. There is no apparent reason why these problems should increase with time.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
