Larsen MM, Lendal S, Chriél M, Olsen SN, Bj?rn H: Risk factors for high en- doparasitic burden and the ef?ciency of a single anthelmintic treatment of Danish horses. Acta vet. scand. 2002, 43, 99-106. – A questionnaire survey regarding en- doparasite control practices in Danish horse herds was carried out in 1995. The partici- pating veterinarians and herd owners were sampled using convenience and purposive sampling. In the analysis of risk factors for development of a high endoparasitic burden (200 eggs per gram faeces) 903 horses were sampled and the analysis of the ef?ciency of a single anthelmintic treatment was based on 605 horses. The following factors had a signi?cant effect on the endoparasitic burden: herd type, age of the horses, use of pas- ture rotation, anthelmintic treatment of horses visiting the herd, use of an adviser in the planning of endoparasite control and advice regarding pasture rotation. An interaction between pasture rotation and advice regarding pasture rotation was found, but due to high collinearity this was not reported. The factors in?uencing signi?cantly on the re- duction of the faecal egg count after a single anthelmintic treatment were the type of herd, the age of the horse, the drug used, and the anthelmintic-resistance-status of the herd. A negative effect of permanent pastures was observed. If pasture hygiene was per- formed on the advice of the veterinarian, the effect of a single anthelmintic treatmen
