What is Worm Resistance?
Some lucky farmers are blessed with animals that seem to not become infected with parasites as readily as the rest of the group. They appear to be resistant to parasites. This does not mean that they don’t become infected at all, but given the other factors are the same, these animals are less affected than others. Project Nemesis has brought together a range of research results indicating that breeding for worm resistance as part of an overall quality improvement breeding program is feasible.
