Haloxon as an anthelmintic for horses.

Year: 1966

Type: article

Abstract: Critical anthelmintic tests on one horse dosed with c. 56 mg/kg haloxon and four given c 75 mg/kg showed the drug to be 100% efficient against Parascaris equorum, Oxyuris equi, Probstmayria vivipara, Triodontophorus spp., Oesophagodontus spp, Craterostomum spp, and probably against Strongylus vulgaris; against Trichonema spp and other small strongyles efficiency was in the 91-100% range. Limited evidence indicated about 50-70% removal of Strongylus equinus and S. edentatus. Gastrophilus larvae were not susceptible to treatment and the common Habronema spp remained in some numbers after dosing.
