Abstract: A series of placebo-controlled trials were conducted in horses, cattle and goats in different seasons and bioclimatic regions of New South Wales and Queensland, Australia, to evaluate the ability of BioWorma®, a feed supplement containing the spores of Duddingtonia flagrans IAH 1297, to reduce the larval development of parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) and their subsequent migration from faeces onto the surrounding pasture.

Results:

• Goats: BioWorma® reduced pasture larval counts by an overall average of 86%
• Horse: BioWorma® reduced pasture larval counts by an overall average of 84%
• Cattle: BioWorma® reduced pasture larval counts by an overall average of 81%

Did you know: Trials with Duddingtonia flagrans have shown significant parasitic nematode reductions on pasture of grazing species like sheep, goats, cattle and horses
