TL;DR: The use of worm egg counts for observational and experimental purposes in naturally infested sheep has become very popular since Whitlock and Gordon (1989) introduced the simple and efficient McMaster slide technique as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The use of worm egg counts for observational and experimental purposes in naturally infested sheep has become very popular since Whitlock and Gordon (1989) introduced the simple and efficient McMaster slide technique. When using a dilution technique such as this, the accuracy of the count increases as more eggs are counted. In order to count more eggs when using the McMaster slide it is usually more convenient, in practice, to take more samples (i.e. count more cells) than to alter the dilution. It is therefore desirable to know the optimum number of samples which should be counted for each sheep when comparing the counts of naturally infested sheep. The usefulness of sampling on one or more days is another problem concerning experiments of this nature.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of barley straw was sprayed with solutions of urea (U), urea plus a dry addition of soya bean meal (DM)) (UB) alone or with sodium hydroxide (15 g/kg straw DM) (UBS), or Urea plus molasses (50 g/ kg straw DM), water was added to lower the DM content of the straw to 700 g kg−1.

TL;DR: This work was carried out to develop a rapid molecular profiling technique to screen ciliate populations in the rumen of sheep to improve the ability of this technique to discriminate between sheep with and without horns.
Abstract: Aims: This work was carried out to develop a rapid molecular profiling technique to screen ciliate populations in the rumen of sheep. Methods and Results: DGGE was used to study the ciliate diversity in the rumen of sheep. There was considerable variation between sheep which were co-housed, and fed the same diet. However, no difference in the major banding patterns was detected, when samples were collected from a single sheep sampled at different points. Following dietary changes, use of a pair-wise comparison of lanes, demonstrated that although there was still diversity between the ciliate population of sheep, the effects as a result of dietary changes were greater. Conclusions: The technique generated molecular profiles which are sufficiently different to allow comparison between samples, and to permit molecular ecological studies on the rumen ciliate population. Significance and Impact of the Study: The outcome of this study means that ciliate diversity in the rumen may now be studied by those unfamiliar with morphological identification of these organisms.
