Protein profile of lambs experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus and supplemented with selenium and copper

Table 3 - Mean ± Standard deviation of the total and daily weight gain and worm burden of sheep at the end of the experiment (D80)

Groups	Weight gain (kg)	Daily weight gain (kg)	Worm burden
G1	4.80^b ± 1.5	0.060^b ± 0.019	568^a ± 707,3
G2	5.23^b ± 1.5	0.065^b ± 0.019	527^a ± 421,9
G3	7.49^a ± 1.7	0.094^a ± 0.021	430^a ± 122,9
G4	7.37^a ± 0.7	0.092^a ± 0.008	365^b ± 117,6

G1 - infected and untreated animals; G2 - infected and treated with sodium selenite animals; G3 - infected and treated with copper animals; G4 – infected and treated with sodium selenite and copper animals. Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate a significant difference between the groups (p <0.05).
