Haemonchus contortus (H. contortus) is a major gastrointestinal nematode that adversely affects goat production in tropical and subtropical countries leading to high economic losses due to lower growth rates, markedly reduced reproductive performance and mortality. Farmers can use different strategies including anthelmintic treatments, grazing management, vaccination, improved nutrition and selection of resistant animals in order to control or prevent their animals from infection by this nematode. This study was conducted to determine and describe the development of immunity in Boer goats kids based on their faecal egg count (FEC) and selected blood parameters in relation to specific antibody production against this nematode. Understanding the development of immunity could Many colleagues and organisations (listed below) have contributed to the success of this study, without their assistance this study will not be possible. My sincere appreciation goes to: • The Malaysia government through the Public Services Department of Malaysia for providing me the scholarship to further my study for a higher research degree. • Department of Veterinary Services, Malaysia for allowing me to go on study leave to undertake this degree.
