| description | The Modified Parfitt's Technique (MPT) is used to assess
the concentration of infective nematode larvae on pasture which
gives an indication of the infection to which grazing animals
are exposed . Validation of this technique showed that it was
not successful when applied in the field and variation in
results occurred among different grass species . Using Panicum
maximum ( Guinea ) , Setaria sphacelata var splendida ( Setaria)
and Digitaria setivalva (Mardi Digit) grasses , modifications
were introduced to improve the larval recovery rate . The
soaking of herbage in lukewarm water ( 38'C ) instead of tap
water increased the recovery rate significantly without
variation between the three grasses tested.Using this improved MPT , plot trials were conducted to
assess the longevity of third-stage larvae ( L3 ) of goat
trichostrongyles under the forementioned grass leys . However
the technique failed to recover any L3 . Reasons for this were
low number of larvae , rainfall , and larval - grass/debris
adherence . There is a need for further investigation into this
technique. |
