Worm egg count (EPG) | Comment | Action |
---|---|---|
 < 200 | Low egg count | Treatment probably not justified. Continue monitoring |
200–500 | Some clinical disease could be present | Anthelmintic treatment should be beneficial in individuals |
500–1000 eggs | Clinical disease likely in a large proportion of the group | Anthelmintic treatment necessary to a large proportion of the group |
1000+ eggs | Clinical disease likely in the whole group with some individuals heavily infected | Anthelmintic treatment necessary to a large proportion of the group |
