Steps to Respond Data Verification and Cleaning Check for any missing or inconsistent values in the dataset. Ensure that all pre-treatment and post-treatment values are properly recorded. Calculate FECR (%) Use the formula: FECRT (%) = ((Mean FEC before treatment)-(Mean FEC after treatment))/((Mean FEC before treatment)) ×100, Compare FECR values across treatment groups to assess efficacy. Compare Treatment Groups Identify which treatment group had the highest reduction in FEC. Determine statistical significance using ANOVA or t-tests if needed. Interpret the Results Highlight the most effective treatment. Note any unexpected increases or anomalies in the data. Provide Recommendations Based on the results, suggest whether plant-based anthelmintics (Papaya seeds, Moringa leaves) are viable alternatives to conventional dewormers. Discuss potential limitations, such as small sample size or external factors affecting results.
