Means with different letters in the same column differ at P < 0.05. SEM = standard error of the mean. T-S1.5% = moxidectin-treated and supplemented with maize grain at 1.5% BW. I-S1.5% = naturally infected and supplemented with maize grain at 1.5% BW. I-S1% = naturally infected and supplemented with maize grain at 1% BW. I-S108 = naturally infected and supplemented with 108 g maize grain. I-NS = naturally infected, not supplemented.
