Effects of the use of heather as anthelmintic in goats infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis on ruminal fermentation and digestibility
Previous field studies have supported the absence of a nutritional cost outweighing the beneficial anthelmintic effect of supplementing the diet of grazing goats with tannin-containing heather. In order to further research in this regard, an experiment was conducted indoors with 18 does artificially infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis. The goats were offered lucerne hay for 6 weeks and...
متن کاملThe effect of two levels of dietary protein on resistance and resilience of dairy goats experimentally infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis: comparison between high and low producers.
Numerous studies have examined the interactions between protein nutrition and the response to nematode parasitism in sheep, but very few in goats. Compared with other ruminants, goats are less resistant to nematode infection. In addition, in dairy goats, high producing animals have been shown to be less resistant and less resilient to infection compared to low producing ones. The objective of t...
متن کاملIs the anthelmintic effect of heather supplementation to grazing goats always accompanied by anti-nutritional effects?
To test the hypothesis that the beneficial anthelmintic effect of consuming moderate amounts of tannins may not always be accompanied by anti-nutritional effects in goats, two experiments were conducted. In the first, 48 Cashmere goats were randomly assigned to two treatments: supplementation with tannin-containing heather (6.4% total tannins) and non-supplementation. All goats grazed continuou...
متن کاملTrichostrongylus colubriformis Nematode Infections in Humans, France
To the Editor: In April 2009, a 47-year-old woman in Saint-Jeannet in southern France reported stomach aches, abdominal bloating, and occasional diarrhea. Blood analyses found an increased eosinophil level (8,800 cells/mm 3), which represented 52% of 16,900 leukocytes/mm 3. Parasitologic examinations for helminths were conducted with 6 fecal specimens obtained during June 9– July 2, 2009. Analy...
متن کاملTrichostrongylus Colubriformis (Giles 1892), a Human Parasite
The change of name of a human parasite is not a matter which is likely to provoke much enthusiasm in the minds of most medical men. 1 hope, however, that, for members of the Indian .Medical Service, there may be, in the present instance, at least some compensating satisfaction in the feeling that there is, as I hope to show, definite proof that the correct name of the parasite, at present known...
