Abstract

Infestations with Cysticercus ovis have again been reported in lambs slaughtered for export.

During the past three years this parasite has been responsible for the rejection of more than 1,000 lambs at the W.A. Meat Export Works alone, and although the export season has only just begun 20 rejections have already been necessary.
