MolybdenumIBA 08/01/1999 - "In a study designed to test the effect of molybdenum (Mo) on resistance to trichostrongylosis, the Mo content of the diet during primary infection of 8-month-old Merino lambs with Trichostrongylus colubriformis was found to affect the number of worm eggs found in the faeces during challenge and the total number of worms in the jejunum after six weeks of challenge infection.
