Eficácia de vermífugos à base de avermectinas e milbemicinas utilizados há cinco anos em uma criação de eqüinos Efficacy of avermectins and milbemicins anthelmintics derivatives being used for five years in an equine farm

Abstract

Avaliou-se a eficácia do controle parasitário com anti-helmínticos (AH) de largo espectro usados há mais de cinco anos, em um plantel eqüino da raça puro-sangue inglês, sob manejo semi-intensivo. Os animais foram tratados com Ivermectin (Eqvalan®) e Moxidectin (Equest®), por via oral. Durante o estudo, o número de ovos por grama de fezes (opg) manteve-se zero na maioria dos animais.The efficacy of parasite control with broad spectrum anthelmintics, used for over five years on a Thoroughbred herd was evaluated. The animals were kept on semi-intensive pasture regimen. During this study the horses received Ivermectin (Eqvalan®) and Moxidectin (Equest®); both treatments were given orally. The epg number was zero for most animals troughout the trial.
