Deutsche Tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 114(2), 64-66.0341-6593https://hdl.handle.net/11452/40436The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy and the so-called "egg reappearance period" (ERP) of doramectin in horses naturally infected with strongyles during a period of 34 weeks. A group of yearlings of 10 animals was treated intramuscularly with doramectin at a dose rate of 0.2 mg/kg bodyweight (BW) at the begin of the grazing season. To obtain comparable data, another group of yearlings (n = 10) was treated orally with ivermectin at a dose rate of 0.2 mg/kg BW. Individual faecal samples were examined for strongyle egg counts per gram of faeces (EPG) in two-week intervals. Twelve weeks later, a second treatment was given in both groups with the respective anthelmintic followed by a third treatment when the group mean egg count reached a 200 EPG. The efficacy of doramectin was >= 96% and that of ivermectin 100%, based on the mean egg counts two weeks post treatments (wpt). The highest and the lowest extensity of the efficacy (average values) for doramectin were 90% and 41% two and ten wpt, respectively, whereas these values for ivermectin differed from 100% (two wpt) to 24.3% (eight wpt). The ERP was found to be 10 and 8 weeks for doramectin and ivermectin, respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHorseStrongylesDoramectinVeterinary sciencesIvermectinAnthelminticsErpFenbendazolePyrantel embonatePharmacokineticsIvermectinMoxidectinFecesArticle0002451456000046466114217341022Veterinary sciences
