Effects of long-acting, broad spectra anthelmintic treatments on the rumen microbial community compositions of grazing sheep
Abstract Anthelmintic treatment of adult ewes is widely practiced to remove parasite burdens in the expectation of increased ruminant productivity. However, the broad activity spectra of many anthelmintic compounds raises the possibility of impacts on the rumen microbiota. To investigate this, 300 g...
