Daggy lambs...weight....?

Question

is there a connection between daggy lambs and the lambs weight??

Answer 1

Yes.  According to Broughan and Wall (2007), the heaviest lambs are the cleanest, with most faecal soiling in smaller, lighter animals.  http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob...

Other factors that affected dag score in their study included faecal egg count (parasite burden), pasture, gender, time since worming, faecal dry weight, and live-weight.
