MOST of Western Australia's Merino flock owners wean their lambs in the months of August, September and October.
Too often this is done indiscriminately to fit in with other operations, or lambs are left on their mothers for long: periods until the ewes are remated.

Can Worms Be Controlled By Correct Feeding?, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE extensive losses which result from the ravages of internal parasites are a matter of serious concern.
Livestock owners realise this all too well and welcome advice concerning control measures which can be adopted. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give clear cut advice on the subject.
Much publicity is given to the use of drugs which will expel the worms. Various systems of strategic drenching have been developed.
It is well to remember, however, that drenching is only one of many methods which can be used to control worm infestation.
In this talk attention will be concentrated on experimental …

The idea of a survey originated from discussions with the President, Mr. K. E. Jones, and several other members of the Dandaragan Pasture Improvement Group.
The information obtained from the survey has provided a valuable factual basis for the design of laboratory and field experiments.
