Effect of rumen fluke on feed digestibility and methane emissions in sheep
Thirty-six ewes aged 18 months were assigned to one of three groups (n = 12) on the basis of faecal egg count (FEC) for rumen fluke; C: control (FEC = 0-5 epg), T: affected (FEC ≥ 6 epg) and treated, NT: affected (FEC ≥ 6 epg) and not treated. T ewes were treated with oxyclozanide 14 days prior to the trial commencing.
