What term refers to eliminating parasites by giving the animal an anthelmintic drug?

• A. Emetic treatment
• B. Deworming
• C. Worming
• D. Vermin eradication

Answer: (B)

Deworming refers to eliminating parasites by giving anthelmintic drugs. It’s the standard veterinary term for treating animals to remove intestinal worms and reduce parasite burden, helping welfare and health. Emetic treatment is about inducing vomiting, not parasite removal. Worming is a common informal term, but deworming is the accepted, formal term. Vermin eradication describes removing pests from an environment, not treating an individual animal.
