A survey on tapeworm control in N. Ireland sheep was conducted in 2012 Most farmers did not treat for tapeworm, while others treated on average twice per year Benzimidazoles were the main drugs given, but inappropriate and ineffective drugs were also used Tapeworms were deemed to have the least impact of all parasites on sheep productivity Numbers of tapeworm-positive diagnoses were consistently very low from 2007 to 2014
