Gastrointestinal nematodes in small ruminants are clinically and economically important parasites that often are controlled with anthelmintics. In this study, we compiled information on the anthelmintic efficacy collected on sheep farms according to routines established by Farm & Animal Health in Sweden. The efficacies of benz-imidazoles (i.e. albendazole or fenbendazole, n = 30), ivermectin (n = 47), levamisole (n = 2) or moxidectin (n = 2) were examined between 2015 and 2021 in 81 treatment groups on 49 non-randomly selected farms in south-central Sweden. Drug efficacies were estimated with the faecal egg count reduction test. In addition, ef-ficacy data were in most cases supplemented with data on the abundance of the three most common nematode genera in sheep by performing droplet digital (dd) PCR on coprocultures.
