Abstract: Deworming is a cornerstone of veterinary medicine, essential for controlling internal parasitic infections that significantly impact animal health, productivity and welfare. Internal parasites, including helminths (roundworms, tapeworms and flukes) and protozoans, can lead to severe health complications, resulting in economic losses in both companion and livestock animals. This article examines the importance of deworming in preventing parasitic infections, explores various deworming strategies and highlights its role in enhancing animal health and productivity. Moreover, it discusses sustainable approaches to parasite control, focusing on the rising challenge of anthelmintic resistance.
