The elimination pattern of eggs of Eurytrema sp LOSS, 1907 in the faeces of taurine and zebuine crossbred calves
Keywords:Eurytrema, Faeces, Calves
Thirteen worm free crossbred calves (3/4 Holstein x 1/4 Zebu) aging from 7 to 12 months were put in a pasture of Melinis minutiflora at the end of the rainy season (March, 1990). Starting from August, 1990, during 18 months, at every 15 days, a faecal sample from each calf was collected for Eurytrema egg counts. The first animals which eggs were found in their faeces were also the ones which reached the highest faecal egg counts. The remaining calves presented lower EPG counts and in three of them negative counts were obtained from time to time.
