Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different infection levels of Ostertagia ostertagi and Cooperia oncophora in a simulated 'first grazing season' on the resistance of calves to an artificial challenge infection. The infection levels were determined by the infection schedules and the chemoprophylaxis used. Thirty six 7-11-month old Holstein-Friesian bull calves were randomly divided into four groups. The animals of group B received an ivermectin sustained release bolus (ISRB) on day 0. The calves of group D were treated on days 0 and 56 with a subcutaneous injection of doramectin (0.2 mg kg(-1) BW). Group C was the untreated control group. The calves of group N were used as helminth-naive controls, while the animals of groups B, C and D were trickle infected for 24 weeks. The infection schedules were designed to simulate the expected infection pattern for each treatment group under set-stocked conditions in temperate climate areas. After the last infection, all animals were treated with oxfendazole. One week later, all animals received a challenge infection of 50,000 O. ostertagi L3 and 100,000 C. oncophora L3, spread over 10 consecutive days. During the primary infection period the faecal egg output and ...Continue Reading
