Two farms were identified as infected with the Cestode Moniezia spp, and a test herd as well as a control herd was set aside on each of these farms. Fecal float coprological analyses were performed before and after treatment of the test herds, while no treatment was administered to the animals in the control herds of each farm. Praziquantel treatment proofed to be effective in reducing Cestode numbers based on egg counts using the Mac-Master method.展开更多
