Helminth infections: Do they affect the productive efficiency of specialised dairy farms? Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Subclinical infections with gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes and liver fluke are an important cause of production losses in grazing dairy cattle. Attempts to evaluate the economic impact of these production losses were mainly based on partial analysis techniques, and few studies have looked more integrally at the impact on productive efficiency at farm level. The objective of this research is to analyse the effect of GI nematode and liver fluke ...
