faeces
The production of the larvae in faeces of infected deer is expressed as the number of larvae per gram of faeces (lpg).
It is estimated that mature cattle defecate 12-18 times and produce between 20 and 40 kg of faeces daily [16-18].
Four groups of four sheep were formed, depending upon the average number of eggs deposited per gram of faeces after the prepatent period.
Since we found few seed fragments in faeces, it appears that tapirs do not mechanically destroy the larger seeds surveyed here.
Of the 27 mice examined, eight had worms without detectable eggs in their faeces.
The results indicate that thousands of wildlife faeces entered livestock feed on each of the four farms over the winter months monitored.
Reaching this dose level normally results in more than 75% reduction in parasite larval number in faeces.
Moreover, no evidence of faeces was observed in playground sites nor in samples removed from established footpaths.
Contact with animal faeces did not occur solely during organized visits to farms.
Successive sub-samples from the same sample of faeces were carried out until two counts varied by no more than 10%.
Following several days with normal stools, semi-liquid faeces were also observed in 3 piglets towards the end of the study.
Cysts were enumerated using a haemocytometer and expressed as the number of cysts per gram of faeces.
The amount of food provided varied slightly according to the rate of consumption and the consistency of the faeces.
The area inside the cages, where no faeces were deposited, was used as the control.
They were air-dried for 2-5 d and the entire faeces filtered through a 5-mm2 mesh screen.
