Thanks to contributions from an excellent committee, we have these guidelines a complete overhaul. Lots of new stuff in here.
The AAEP has issued revised Internal Parasite Control Guidelines to help minimize the risk of parasitic disease and maintain the effectiveness of current drugs for as long as possible by delaying further development of anthelmintic resistance. Read more: ow.ly/jMm250S8KZ8
