Friesian calves given a low level infection of the abomasal parasite Ostertagia ostertagi over a six week period displayed a mild diarrhoea with high faecal egg counts and elevated plasma pepsinogen values. At necropsy on day 23 abomasal lesions characteristic of ostertagiasis were widespread. At 42 and 84 days oedema and congestion were also prominent. Total worm burdens on days 23 and 42 were similar but a marked decrease had occurred by day 84. Feed digestibility and nitrogen economy were not markedly affected but radioisotopic measurements demonstrated an increase in albumin disappearance and catabolic rates, and plasma faecal clearance during the course of the infection. Prior administration of a morantel sustained release bolus to a group of similarly infected calves reduced the total worm burdens to less than 50 per cent of those recorded in the infected calves on days 23 and 42 and this fell to 3 per cent on day 84. Abomasal damage and the adverse pathophysiological changes associated with infection were prevented in this group.
