With the increasing population and urbanization, the demand for meat, milk, and other livestock-derived products is escalating, necessitating the maintenance of herd health to optimize production. For instance, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global meat production is expected to reach 374 million tonnes by 2030, a 13% increase from 2018-2020 levels. Parasite infestations significantly impact animal growth and productivity, making dewormers an essential component of livestock healthcare.
 

Additionally, favorable government initiatives promoting veterinary health, and the implementation of stringent food safety regulations further contribute to the increased adoption of dewormers. Furthermore, the growing awareness about the economic losses caused by parasitic infections and the rising emphasis on animal welfare among livestock owners are encouraging the regular use of dewormers. Emerging markets in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa are also contributing to market growth, driven by expanding livestock populations and increasing investments in veterinary healthcare infrastructure.
 

Livestock dewormers, also known as anthelmintics, are medications or chemical agents used to eliminate or control parasitic worms (helminths) in livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and other farm animals. These parasites may include roundworms, tapeworms, flukes, and other internal worms that can negatively impact the health, productivity, and overall well-being of livestock.
