The profile of predominant gastrointestinal strongyle worm (Haemonchus contortus) was studied in young sheep at native and exposed stages in order to ascertain the source of infection and to formulate suitable targeted treatment strategy. Lambs born during the major lambing season (December to February) were used for investigation. From 2004 to 2011, a total of 2397 sheep (6–7 months of age) belonging to Malpura and Avikalin breeds were evaluated for intensity of strongyle infection at monthly intervals during wormy season (from July to November). A total of 10058 faecal samples were examined by the modified McMaster technique. The overall monthly mean faecal egg count (FEC) varied significantly (P ICAR-CSWRI Avikanagar |
