• Abstract: The main goal of the control program of parasite infection is to raise the health status of pigs in the Republic of Serbia. By preventing the appearance and spread of parasitic infections by taking certain preventive measures, the basic task is to reduce the prevalence of parasites, which achieves that as few infected animals reach the slaughterhouse as possible. In addition, taking prescribed measures at the slaughterhouse aims to keep the risk of parasitic zoonoses in meat and pork products at zero level. The application of this integrated concept of parasite infection control required the systematic monitoring of infection on farms and slaughterhouses before and after the applied measures. Certainly, the complexity of the problem required the involvement of all relevant entities, primarily veterinary services, starting from farms to slaughterhouses.
