  • Title: Significance of serum pepsinogen and abomasal pH levels in a field infection of O circumcincta in lambs.
    Author: Thomas RJ, Waller PJ.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 1975 Dec 13; 97(24):468-71. PubMed ID: 842.
    Abstract:
    Serum pepsinogen estimations from serially bled lambs grazing on pasture from spring to autumn showed correlations with the availability of Ostertagia larvae on pasture, with faecal egg counts of O circumcincta, and with Ostertagia worm counts in similar lambs slaughtered fort-nightly from the same pasture. In the slaughtered lambs correlations were recorded between worm count, serum pepsinogen level and abomasal pH. The value of serum pepsinogen estimations as a diagnostic test is discussed with reference to these findings.
