Anthelmintics
Anthelmintic resistance is a serious and
increasing threat to the health and welfare of livestock. If unchecked,
it could lead to existing anthelmintics becoming ineffective with a potentially
catastrophic impact on animal welfare and production.
The use of
anthelmintics must be judicious and incorporated within a farm specific strategic
anthelmintic plan based on sound scientific principles, recognising that
every application will increase the risk of possible development of
resistance to anthelmintics.
