摘要: A longitudinal study was conducted of the nematode faecal egg counts (FECs) and body condition scores (BCSs) goats resource-poor farmers at Rust de Winter, Gauteng Province, Impendle, KwaZulu-Natal Kraaipan, North-West South Africa. Periods higher FECs occurred from December/January to March/April Winter Impendle January March Kraaipan. Seasonal variations in were evident with animals showing lower BCSs June October. The Kraaipan did not show clear seasonal variations, although showed mid-July early December. for where grazed on a private farm generally than those other sites, communal grazing is practised.
