Table 5.
Results of pairwise comparisons of the examined anthelmintic categories regarding predicted probabilities of faecal egg count reduction in sheep. MOX = moxidectin; AV = avermectins, LEV = levamisole; MOP = monepantel; BZ = benzimidazoles; CLOS + BZ = closantel and mebendazole; OR = odds ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. Significant results (p ≤ 0.05) and tendencies (p > 0.05 and <0.1) and are both indicated in bold.
