The widespread and uncontrolled use of anthelmintic products has contributed to the emergence of anthelmintic resistance (AR). This phenomenon globally threatens the productivity and welfare of small ruminants. A questionnaire consisting of 34 questions was handed to 234 goat farmers across Romania to gain insight into control practices against internal parasites and the farmers' perception of the parasitic infections present in their herds and the efficacy of anthelmintic treatments. The majority of farmers (88.5%) admitted they had never submitted fecal samples for parasitological laboratory analysis, and 77.4% had treated the animals on their own. In general, the farmers dewormed their goats based on visual body weight estimation. Prophylactic anthelmintic treatment was practiced by more than 85% of the farmers. A traditional control approach based on treating the entire herd at fixed time intervals is widespread among Romanian goat and sheep farmers. The most commonly used anthelmintic drugs in the previous 3 years (2021-2023) were benzimidazoles (85.5%) and macrocyclic lactones (81.6%). Poor anthelmintic efficacy was suspected by 14.5% of farmers, and the minority (18.0%) considered internal parasites as a problem in their herds. Regarding the farmers' perception of the presence of parasites, there was a significant level of uncertainty. This is the first survey carried out in Romanian goat herds, and it provides up-to-date information on practices aimed at controlling internal parasites.
驱虫产品的广泛且无节制使用导致了驱虫抗性（AR）的出现。这一现象在全球范围内威胁着小型反刍动物的生产力和健康状况。一份包含34个问题的问卷被分发给罗马尼亚各地的234位山羊养殖户，以深入了解针对体内寄生虫的防控措施，以及养殖户对其畜群中存在的寄生虫感染情况和驱虫治疗效果的认知。大多数养殖户（88.5%）承认他们从未提交粪便样本进行寄生虫学实验室分析，77.4%的养殖户自行对动物进行治疗。总体而言，养殖户根据目测体重来对山羊进行驱虫。超过85%的养殖户采用预防性驱虫治疗。在罗马尼亚的山羊和绵羊养殖户中，基于固定时间间隔对整个畜群进行治疗的传统防控方法很普遍。在过去3年（2021 - 2023年）中，最常用的驱虫药物是苯并咪唑（85.5%）和大环内酯类（81.6%）。14.5%的养殖户怀疑驱虫效果不佳，少数养殖户（18.0%）认为体内寄生虫是其畜群中的一个问题。关于养殖户对寄生虫存在情况的认知，存在很大程度的不确定性。这是首次在罗马尼亚山羊群中开展的调查，它提供了有关旨在控制体内寄生虫的措施的最新信息。
