Controlling Parasites Associated with Raw Feeding and the Role of Testing

27/01/2022
Presenter: Ian Wright BVMS, MSc, MRCVS, Head of ESCCAP (the European Scientific Council for Companion Animal Parasites) UK & Ireland

Ian Wright discusses the importance of controlling parasites associated with raw feeding and the role of testing to ensure the welfare of the pets and the people around them. He explains the forms in which raw feeding comes, the parasites of concern, such as tapeworms and protozoa, diagnosis and the control of raw diet parasites transmission among other things.

The past decade has seen an increasing trend across Europe of the feeding of raw diets to pets, with 4% of UK cats and 10% of UK dogs now being fed raw meat and animal by-products. Much has been discussed about the relative benefits of prepared commercial diets, using raw foodstuffs or a combination of both.

A correctly balanced diet will keep a pet happy and healthy. If an owner chooses to feed any raw components, it is vital to minimise any parasitic or bacterial threats to the pets and the people around them.
