To combat these parasites, farmers rely on a range of medicinal solutions. Anthelmintics, commonly known as dewormers, are the primary medicines used to treat internal parasites. These medications work by either killing the parasites or inhibiting their growth and reproduction. There are several classes of anthelmintics, including benzimidazoles, macrocyclic lactones, and imidazothiazoles, each with its mode of action. Farmers must carefully choose the appropriate medication based on the specific parasite species present in their flock and the resistance patterns that may have developed over time.
