Proceedings of the New Zealand Society of Animal Production 67: 102-106

The aim of this brief review is to summarise current knowledge of the effects of internal parasites (lungworm and gastrointestinal nematodes) on productivity of farmed red deer. This review, largely based upon published data, highlights gaps in the literature and draws attention to topics for future research.
