•
misadministration of the veterinary medicinal product, or lack of calibration of
the dosing device (if any).
Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated
using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results
of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic

should be used.
