different herds is shown in Figure 1 with the confidence interval of the mean. The FEC of the non resistant herd grazing with heifers (M0) is significantly higher than the FEC of the 2 resistant herds (M1 and R1).The effect of selection improves the ability of the does to control parasite infection. The effect of the grazing mode was not significant enough to explain the difference between the herds for the FEC. Conclusion and perspectives These first results suggest a better resistance to GIN of the resistant-selected herds (M1 and R1) compared to the non resistant herd grazing with heifers (M0). However, doe infection is one aspect of the comparison. The performance of the herds will also be studied using other parameters like PCV and EOSI to assess the parasite infection characteristics. The kid average daily gain (ADG) will allow estimating the milk output of the does (ADG 10 to 30 day) and the kid growth potential (ADG 30 to 70 day). The estimates of the litter weight at weaning and of the doe and cattle weight variations will allow comparing the productivity of the four herds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
