The efficacy of worming strategies in any country should be carefully monitored by laboratory analysis and condition scoring. An epidemiological assessment of weight loss or anaemia should complement any monitoring process to determine the impact of dental disease and/or poor nutrition.

Frequent use of [[Anthelmintic Drugs|anthelmintics]] and sub-optimal dosing has been implicated in the selection for resistant nematodes. Egg counts should be used as a guide to worming. Weigh the donkey or estimate its weight using the [[Heart Girth Nomogram - Donkey|nomogram]] to allow more accurate worm dosing.

Previous trials at [http://drupal.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ the Donkey Sanctuary] suggest that resistance to the benzimidazole and pyrantel derivatives is developing. Recent trials have indicated that resistance to [[Macrocyclic Lactones|moxidectin]] may be developing. Future development in biological control using nematode-trapping fungi is being studied.
