Fig. 3

The fecal, grass and soil L3 larval counts (/kg of dry matter) in samples taken before and after winter on the three study farms. a Each black dot represents the L3 count of one sampling unit (each comprising individual samples pooled from 4 fecal pats as described in Methods). Each red square shows the mean of the data for the L3 counts of the 6 sampling units on each pasture. Note the different scale of y-axis. b Tabulated mean grass, fecal and L3 counts (/kg dry matter) in each farm pre- and post-winter with the standard deviation shown in parentheses. P-values show the results of the t-test on log transformed L3 counts pre- and post-winter
