Abstract
Helminthosis in livestock has been a problem from
time immemorial. Local farmers have ancient
methods of controlling helminth parasites which
had limited applications and success. Modern
methods of controlling helminths are more
effective if properly and strategically
administered in such a way as to ensure adequate
control of helminths and at the least possible
cost to the farmer. Many factors militate against
the control of Helminthosis in developing
countries. Some of these factors are the literacy
level of farmers, government funding and problems
associated with experts in the field who are
supposed to be involved in the control of
Helminthosis. In this review some solution is
proffered against these factors so as to ensure
maximum helminth control and greater productivity
of livestock.
