Sequential in vivo measurements of total body water, exchangeable sodium and exchangeable potassium, made by radioisotopic dilution techniques, were used to determine changes in body composition in calves exposed to natural infections with gastrointestinal nematodes during their first grazing season. Two groups of calves were studied, one of which received a sustained release anthelmintic bolus at turn out. Over the grazing season the bolus-treated calves showed a significantly improved pattern of bodyweight gain, compared with the untreated control calves. There were also significant increases in both total body water and exchangeable potassium, as a percentage of the bodyweight, in the bolus calves compared with the controls. These findings indicated that body protein as a percentage of bodyweight was increased in the bolus animals. The bolus-treated calves also had significantly lower serum pepsinogen concentrations, faecal egg counts and worm burdens.
