| anthelmintic resistance and sheep management practices in south western victoria. | twenty-eight farms in 7 shires in south western victoria were selected and tested for presence of benzimidazole-resistant nematodes between november 1979 and june 1981. mean faecal egg counts of sheep were less than 100 strongyloid eggs/g on 11 farms. faecal egg count reduction tests were conducted on the remaining 17 farms and thiabendazole was less than 90% efficient in reducing egg counts in sheep from 5 (29%) of these farms. thiabendazole-resistant teladorsagia circumcincta were identified a ... | 1984 | 6508667 |

| an examination of the selenium nutrition of sheep in victoria. | the selenium nutrition of sheep throughout victoria was assessed by a survey of the blood glutathione peroxidase activity in 708 flocks. it was shown that the blood glutathione peroxidase activity in sheep had a seasonal variation with lowest levels in the spring. the enzyme activity was correlated with the blood selenium concentration. areas where blood selenium was less than 0.03 micrograms/ml in spring were defined. sheep with low selenium nutrition were grazing pastures in the high rainfall ... | 1980 | 7436915 |
| characterisation of australian ovine adenovirus isolates. | we have characterised two groups of adenoviruses isolated from sheep in australia. restriction endonuclease maps for enzymes bamhi, clai, sali, smai and sphi have been determined for the genome of ovine adenoviruses related to bovine adenovirus serotype 7 (bav 7) from sheep in western australia. although previously serotyped as bav 7 these isolates are different from bovine isolates of bav 7 based on comparison with published restriction endonuclease profiles and maps of bav 7 cattle isolates. a ... | 1994 | 7975153 |
| relationship between clinical manifestations of footrot and specific dna products of dichelobacter nodosus amplified through pcr. | a total of 141 dichelobacter nodosus isolates from 46 merino sheep farms with various clinical forms of footrot was examined by the gelatin gel test and the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using virulent (vf2 and vr2) and benign (bf and br) specific primers. isolates from sheep with virulent and high intermediate footrot usually produced relatively thermostable proteases, but a decreasing proportion of the isolates from sheep with medium and low intermediate or benign footrot had thermostable pr ... | 1995 | 8525095 |

| anthrax explodes in an australian summer. | anthrax occurred on 83 properties in an area of north central victoria between 26 january and 26 march in the summer of 1997. anthrax had not been recorded in the outbreak area since records were initiated in 1914, although anthrax did occur in the general area in the 1880s to 1890s. standard australian control measures were applied to the properties, including quarantine, tracing movements of animals on and off affected properties, secure disposal of carcases by burning, enhanced surveillance o ... | 1999 | 10475947 |
| experiences with vaccination and epidemiological investigations on an anthrax outbreak in australia in 1997. | between january and february 1997, there was a severe outbreak of anthrax on 83 properties in north-central victoria, australia. vaccination was used as a major tool to control the outbreak by establishing a vaccination buffer zone 30 km by 20 km. in all, 78, 649 cattle in 457 herds were vaccinated in a three week program. in the face of the outbreak, there was a delay before vaccination was able to stop deaths. in the 10 days following vaccination 144 cases of confirmed anthrax occurred and 38 ... | 1999 | 10475972 |

| sheep in wolf's clothing: host nestling vocalizations resemble their cowbird competitor's. | nestlings of many avian brood parasites are virtuosos at mimicking host nestling vocalizations, which, like egg mimicry, presumably ensures acceptance by host parents. having been accepted, parasitic nestlings then often exaggerate the aspects of the host's display to increase parental care. host nestlings may, in turn, exaggerate their vocalizations to keep up with the parasite, though this possibility has not been evaluated. we experimentally parasitized song sparrow (melospiza melodia) nests ... | 2008 | 18252675 |
| relationship of body condition score, live weight, stocking rate and grazing system to the mortality of angora goats from hypothermia and their use in the assessment of welfare risks. | body condition scoring is widely used for sheep and cattle but the practice is included in only one code of practice for the welfare of goats in australia. there is no published scientific evidence to support or defend its use in the assessment of welfare risks to farmed goats. | 2008 | 18271817 |
