    Abstract:
    The survival and viability of eggs from Ascaris suum and Oesophagostomum dentatum and of infective larvae (L3) from O. dentatum were determined in the ensiled solid fraction of swine faeces after 0, 7, 14, 28 and 56 days of ensiling. The experiment had two treatments, un-ensiled and ensiled manure, in a split-plot design. Each of 50 containers was inoculated with 40,000 eggs of both A. suum and O. dentatum, and another 50 containers were inoculated with 32,747 L3 of O. dentatum each. A. suum eggs were not destroyed by the ensiling process, although their viability was diminished. O. dentatum eggs and larvae were destroyed during the first 7-14 days of the ensiling process.
