A questionnaire survey was undertaken on sheep farms in Denmark to obtain information on sheep management and worm control practices. The questionnaires were inserted in the June and July, 1993 issue of the Danish Sheep Breeders Journal, circulated monthly to approximately 1200 sheep breeders nationwide. A total of 183 (11%) questionnaires were returned. A second questionnaire was posted to 50 of the 183 responding farmers to examine the repeatability of responses to the first questionnaire. The majority (97%) of the 183 farmers used anthelmintics. The mean number of doses per year for lambs (< 12 months old) and adult sheep (> 12 months old) were 1.9 and 2.3, respectively. Only 42% of the farms followed predetermined drenching programmes. Live weights were determined by visual appraisal on 45% and 84% of the farms for lambs and adult sheep, respectively. In calculating anthelmintic doses for groups of lambs and adult sheep, the recommended weights of the heaviest animals were only used on only 18% and 27% of the farms respectively. Benzimidazoles were the most commonly used anthelmintics from 1986 to 1993. Eighty one percent of 94 responding farmers had been using the same class of anthelmintic for 3 or more consecutive years. Information from this study indicated lack of knowledge about worm control strategies, anthelmintic use and the problem of anthelmintic resistance among the majority of Danish sheep farmers. The majority of responses to the questionnaire were repeatable at least to a fair degree except when farmers were asked to recall anthelmintics used in past years.
在丹麦的养羊场进行了一项问卷调查，以获取有关绵羊管理和驱虫措施的信息。问卷刊登在1993年6月和7月的《丹麦绵羊养殖者杂志》上，该杂志每月向全国约1200名绵羊养殖者发行。共收回183份问卷（占11%）。向183名回复问卷的农民中的50名发送了第二份问卷，以检验对第一份问卷回复的可重复性。183名农民中的大多数（97%）使用驱虫药。12个月龄以下羔羊和12个月龄以上成年羊每年的平均用药剂量分别为1.9次和2.3次。只有42%的农场遵循预定的驱虫程序。分别有45%和84%的农场通过目测评估羔羊和成年羊的体重。在计算羔羊和成年羊群体的驱虫药剂量时，只有18%和27%的农场分别仅使用最重动物的推荐体重。1986年至1993年，苯并咪唑类是最常用的驱虫药。94名回复问卷的农民中有81%连续3年或更长时间使用同一类驱虫药。这项研究的信息表明，大多数丹麦养羊农民缺乏关于驱虫策略、驱虫药使用和驱虫药抗药性问题的知识。除了要求农民回忆过去几年使用的驱虫药外，问卷的大多数回复至少在一定程度上是可重复的。
