Clustering climate and management practices to define environmental challenges affecting gastrointestinal parasitism in Katahdin sheep

Abstract Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) negatively affect the performance and well-being of sheep. Due to anthelmintic resistance, GIN are difficult to control leading producers to choose breeds that can exhibit resistance to parasitism. An example is Katahdin sheep. Katahdins are raised in variou...
