Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the thiol-disulphide balance in the serum of lambs infected with gastrointestinal nematodes, categorizing them based on parasite load indicated by faecal worm egg counts (EPG).
- Lambs were split into three groups based on their infection levels and packed cell volume; those with higher infection showed lower levels of total and native thiols compared to less infected lambs.
- Post-treatment, all groups experienced an increase in thiol levels and a decrease in disulphide ratios, indicating that thiol-disulphide balance can serve as a potential biomarker for monitoring infections in lambs.
