[Testing of a deworming scheme for horses].

    Summary

    A deworming scheme using ivermectin or albendazole was tested in horses. Ivermectin provided better parasite control, but the overall scheme was insufficient to prevent late-season worm infestations.

    Area of Science:

    • Equine parasitology
    • Veterinary medicine
    • Animal health

    Context:

    • Parasitic infections significantly impact horse health and performance.
    • Effective deworming strategies are crucial for managing equine strongyle populations.
    • Seasonal variations in pasture contamination influence parasite transmission dynamics.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a specific deworming schedule in horses.
    • To assess the impact of deworming on egg output, larval differentiation, weight gain, and serum protein levels.
    • To compare the effectiveness of albendazole and ivermectin in controlling equine parasites.

    Summary:

    • A deworming scheme involving treatments at turnout, 4, and 8 weeks later was tested in horses using albendazole and ivermectin.
    • Ivermectin demonstrated superior efficacy in suppressing fecal egg counts compared to albendazole.
    • Despite treatments, significant strongyle infestations occurred in late summer and autumn, indicating the scheme's inadequacy.

    Impact:

    • The study highlights the limitations of the tested deworming protocol in preventing substantial parasite burdens.
    • Findings suggest a need for revised deworming strategies, including pre-turnout treatment and more frequent follow-up doses.
    • Recommendations include specific treatment timings to mitigate late-season parasite challenges in horses.
