Grazing goats are naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes which are an important cause of diseases and economic losses. Targeted selective treatment (TST) is a possibility to avoid spreading of anthelmintic resistances and to reduce the use of anthelmintics. The aim of this study is the development of an goat-milk ELISA for the detection of infection with T. circumcincta in order to provide a monitoring tool for herd infection levels. Therefore a group of kids were artificially infected, blood and faecal samples were taken over a period of 10 weeks. Additional a herd of milk goats,kept on pasture at the experimental farm were used to obtain milk, blood and faecal samples regularly
