This PIN is to highlight that the Veterinary Medicine Directorate (VMD) wishes to undertake research to investigate anthelmintic efficacy in Parascaris spp. (ascarids) populations, examine ascarid egg shedding dynamics and understand existing management strategies on UK stud farms.

The aim of the project is to provide published UK-specific data to strengthen the evidence base for equine parasite control practices and help to inform industry recommendations.

The Authority anticipates the Invitation to Tender (ITT) going live week commencing 06 May 2024.
