Mean (±SEM) of the cumulative bodyweight change (kg), daily bodyweight change (g), total maize intake (kg), hematocrit (%), hemoglobin (g/dl) and eggs per gram of feces (EPG) of browsing kids supplemented with different levels of maize grain during the rainy season.

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.
