Endoparasites in poultry and pigs
The problem of endoparasites is one of the most significant health problems in poultry production. The control of gastro-intestinal worms is virtually exclusively being achieved with a conventional anthelmintic drug. A variety of approaches to the management of ranges and litter are being tested in a multi-annual trial with laying hens and their impact on parasitation is being studied.
- Development of improved preventative measures and alternative treatments to control gastro-intestinal worms in laying hens.
- Investigation of the transferability of such measures and treatments from chickens to pigs.
