Highlights of the small ruminant production systems research program, focusing on recent research. More than 30 faculty, staff and graduate students conduct production systems research related to small ruminants. State-of-the-art facilities and a high-health flock at Ponsonby Research Station provide a foundation for much of their work.

Differences in receptivity to gastrointestinal infections with nematodes in dairy ewes: Influence of age and of the level of milk production [PDF]
Resistance to anthelmintics in populations of gastrointestinal nematodes is a major concern in small ruminants. One solution to limit the spread of anthelmintic resistance is to apply treatments selectively by targeting the most susceptible animals ...

Clostridial diseases of small ruminants.
Members of the genus Clostridium are extraordinarily diverse in their natural habitats, and, when introduced to animal hosts, a few produce acute and often fatal disease. In sheep and goats, as in many other species of domestic animals, pathogenesis is often mediated by one or more of the many toxic proteins produced by these organisms.

In vitro effects of three woody plant and sainfoin extracts on two parasitic stage of 3 parasitic nematode species [PDF]
Most studies on the effects of tanniferous plants on nematodes have examined forages but have neglected the woody plants. Therefore, in vitro effects of extracts from 3 woody plants (Rubus fructicosus, Quercus robur, Corylus avellana) have been tested on
