• the sheep are sacrificed 7-12 days after treatment (days 35-49 PI), and the abomasum is ligated and removed from each sheep. Each abomasum is longitudinally sectioned and rinsed into an 80 mesh sieve. Sieve contents are collected in individual containers and fixed in formol-alcohol. Later each sample is transferred to a 1000 or 2000 ml beaker and the volume brought to 400-1000 ml with tap water. The total number of worms in a 40-100 ml aliquot (10%) is determined.
