چکیده
An anthelmintic programme employed by the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA) in Morocco was assessed by obtaining faecal egg counts and conditions scores for 158 working equines (donkeys, mules and horses) from souks (markets) routinely visited by the charity and compared with a souk not previously visited. Results showed the current programme to be ineffective in reducing the long-term worm burden of the animals in the souks and recommends changes to the programme to encourage greater numbers of animals treated. Other data on the animals’ liveweight, age and reasons for presentation for treatment were also collected and assessed.
