The lambs at the time the disease broke out in the flock were closely folded together with the ewes on growing roots, which, needless to say, were much soiled with earth and faeces before they were completely consumed. INTESTINAL HELMINTHIASIS IN RUMINANTS (Ox, Sheep, Goat). Verminous disease of the intestine is often accompanied by similar disease of the stomach (gastro-intestinal strongylosis of the sheep, lum- bricosis of the calf), but it also occurs apart from the presence of gastric parasites. Parasites are more frequent in the intestine than in the abomasum, because the alkaline intestinal juices prove a much more favourable medium for their development than do the acid juices of the stomach. The actual parasites may include ascarides, stron- gyles, hooked worms, cesophagostomes, tricocephales, sclerostomes, and various tsenife (Twina ^a ct alba). Many of these have already been, or will here- after be, referred to. ^i»- H^.-Head of TT 1 • • • 1 i. 1 1-1 , TcEiiia aiha of the Helmmthiasis due to round worms like stron- , , ,,,, . ox and sheep.
