Appetite, digestive efficiency, feed utilization and carcass evaluation of housed calves naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes.

The progress of two groups of 10 calves, which had previously been exposed to trichostrongyle infections by grazing infected pastures, was monitored from housing in October to slaughter the following April. Each of the animals of one group had received a morantel sustained release bolus, the other control group remained untreated. The high faecal egg counts and serum pepsinogen concentrations, together with the clinical signs of ostertagiosis observed in the controls in October, persisted during the first month of housing but improved thereafter. From late November onwards, no difference in feed intake and digestive efficiency was observed between the groups. The control calves exhibited a significantly greater feed conversion efficiency over the period February-April, (7.5 vs. 12.3 kg feed kg-1 liveweight gain, P less than 0.001). This reduced the liveweight advantage of the MSRB group over the controls at housing to 25 kg.[1]
