Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how seasonal changes impact helminth populations in horse breeding, highlighting the importance of controlling these parasites primarily with anthelmintic drugs.
- - Conducted over three cycles (2015-2022), researchers analyzed fecal samples from 147 horses every month and monitored environmental factors like temperature and rainfall.
- - Findings revealed that helminth egg counts (EPG) were highest in February and lowest in July, indicating that warmer, wetter months favor helminth development; therefore, it's recommended to administer anthelmintics mainly in spring and summer.
