Pasture management and parasitism in the lamb crop

Nematode parasitism is a major problem in the development of intensive grazing systems for fat lamb production, a development which is essential to the progress of the sheep industry. An understanding of the epidemiology of the parasites concerned is the key to the formulation of effective control measures. In this context, the importance of the pasture as the link between parasite and host is receiving increasing recognition; so too is the significance of pasture management.
