	abstract = {One hundred and forty Polled Dorset lambs were randomly allocated to  graze one of seven herbages (n = 20/herbage) and either trickle dosed (n=12)  with a total of 108,000 third stage gastrointestinal nematode larvae (50\%  Trichostrongylus colubriformis and 50\% Ostertagia circumcincta) over 6  weeks, or undosed (n=8) and allowed to ingest any nematode larvae on pasture.   After 28 days on the trial lambs dosed with larvae had higher (P<0.001) faecal  egg counts (FEC{\textquoteright}s) than undosed lambs but after 42 days egg counts did not  differ (P>0.05) between dosed and undosed groups. Dosing with larvae did not  significantly alter the liveweight gain (LWG). Herbage species affected LWG,  being highest on lotus (Lotus pedunculatus cv Maku) and lowest on  ryegrass/white clover (Lolium perenne/Trifolium repens), with other  treatments being intermediate.   Dosed lambs grazing chicory (Chicorium intybus) had more faecal dags than  any other group of lambs. Those grazing G27 red clover (Trifolium pratense)  were worst afflicted by a dermatitis type condition commonly referred to as  trefoil dermatitis. Plasma pepsinogen levels differed significantly (P<0.05)  only between dosed and undosed groups grazing pawera red clover,  ryegrass/white clover and sulla (Hedysarium coronarium).   Worm counts were undertaken on ryegrass/white clover and sulla grazed  lambs. Both dosed and undosed groups grazing ryegrass/white clover had  higher (P<0.05) abomasal worm counts than sulla grazed lambs, intestinal  worm counts were highest in dosed lambs grazing ryegrass/white clover,  intermediate in the dosed lambs grazing sulla and in undosed lambs grazing  ryegrass/white clover, and lowest in the undosed lambs grazing sulla.  },
