“…Common nematodes (roundworms) that inhabit the abomasum and the proximal small intestine can significantly affect livestock health and production in both southern and northern regions of Australia (Winks 1968;Armstrong et al 1969;Henderson and Kelly 1978;Smeal 1982;Fabiyi and Copeman 1986;Besier 1993). These infections can increase the dietary requirements for minerals, which is of significance in areas where the mineral may be limiting production such as in the P-deficient areas of northern Australia.…”

Summary. This paper briefly describes common mineral disorders affecting livestock at pasture in Australia, their mineral requirements, factors affecting these requirements and laboratory methods of assessing the mineral status of the animal. The benefits and limitations of mineral analyses of soil and pasture samples for the purposes of identifying and preventing mineral disorders of the grazing animal are discussed. Mineral analyses of pasture are of particular value in the identification of the causes of copper and magnesium deficiency and of acute calcium deficiency in livestock. Selective grazing, adventitious ingestion of soil and variability in the mineral reserves of the animal, however, limit the usefulness of pasture analyses to identify a mineral disorder in the grazing animal.

An investigation into the helminth species present in cattle in the East Kimberley and Victoria River Districts of Northern Australia was conducted over a 2-year period based on bi-monthly total and differential worm counts in weaner cattle as well as on a post mortem survey of adult cattle sent for slaughter. The most important species found in young cattle were Haemonchus placei and Cooperia spp. Only small numbers of Bunostomum phlebotomum, Nematodirus spathiger, Oesophagostomum radiatum and Moniezia benedini were present. Calicophoron calicophorum and nodules of Onchocerca spp. and Oe. radiatum were recorded in adult cattle. Seasonal fluctuations in helminth parasite burdens are discussed in relation to temperature and rainfall and the results are interpreted in relation to the effects of helminthosis on present and future beef production in this area.
