Journal ArticleDOI
Direct anthelmintic effects of condensed tannins towards different gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep: in vitro and in vivo studies
TL;DR: The lowest intestinal worm burden was recovered from sheep drenched with 8% w/w Quebracho extract and the administration of Que bracho extract at 8% of food intake for 3 days did not affect FEC or worm burdens in sheep infected with the abomasal species compared to controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition-parasite interaction
R.L. Coop,Ilias Kyriazakis +1 more
TL;DR: The framework is useful at highlighting areas of future research on host/parasite/nutrition interactions and can account for the observations of the periparturient relaxation of immunity in reproduced females, as well as the reduction in worm burden in small ruminants supplemented with additional protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of host nutrition on the development and consequences of nematode parasitism in ruminants.
Robert L Coop,Ilias Kyriazakis +1 more
TL;DR: This work considers how nutrition, as a short-term alternative, can influence the host--parasite relationship in ruminants, using gastrointestinal nematode infections of sheep as the model system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in feeding behavior as possible indicators for the automatic monitoring of health disorders in dairy cows.
Luciano A. González,Luciano A. González,Bert J. Tolkamp,Mike Coffey,Alfred Ferret,Ilias Kyriazakis,Ilias Kyriazakis +6 more
TL;DR: Daily feeding time was the feeding characteristic that changed most consistently in relation to the studied disorders, which suggests that a system that monitors short-term feeding behavior can assist in the early identification of sick cows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a functional explanation for the occurrence of anorexia during parasitic infections
TL;DR: The development and occurrence of anorexia, the voluntary reduction in food intake during parasitic infections in animals, is somewhat paradoxical and contrary to conventional wisdom and expectation, but it is taken that its occurrence is an evolved, costly behavioural adaptation which serves a function.
