Background: To address a lack of information on the control of ovine helminth parasites in Northern Ireland (NI), a number of research projects have been undertaken, dealing with gastrointestinal nematodes, tapeworms and liver fluke. This investigation concerns and concentrates on three aspects of disease: farm management strategies for its control, derived from the results of a Questionnaire; the efficacy of treatment used by farmers, as determined by a coprological survey; and the hatching requirements of eggs, that is, whether prolonged chilling is a pre-requisite for hatching.
Results: A Questionnaire was sent to 252 sheep farmers in NI in March 2012 (covering the years 2009-2012) and replies were received from 228 farmers.
