Abstract
Extract In conjunction with a trial to determine the effect of nematode infestation upon the liveweight gain and wool production of young sheep (Brunsdon, unpublished), information was sought on the seasonal succession and availability on pasture of infective larvae of the principal trichostrongyle genera parasitic in sheep. Data were collected in the form of nematode populations found at postmortem examination of Romney lambs, previously maintained worm-free, which were exposed to risk of parasitism in the field. A series of these lambs ran with the flock in the above-mentioned trial and served as indicators of the abundance of infective larvae on the pasture.Keywords
