  • Title: Studies on the efficacy of fenbendazole used in a divided dosage regime against strongyle infections in ponies.
    Author: Duncan JL, McBeath DG, Preston NK.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1980 Apr; 12(2):78-80. PubMed ID: 7371614.
    Abstract:
    The efficacy of a fenbendazole divided dose regime against immature stages of Trichonema spp, Strongylus vulgaris and Strongylus edentatus was evaluated. A group of 8 naturally infected 30 to 36-month-old ponies was divided into 2 equal groups on the basis of previous treatment and faecal egg counts, one group being treated with 7.5 mg/kg bwt of fenbendazole daily for 5 days. This treatment regime removed 80 per cent of migrating S vulgaris larvae, 100 per cent of migrating S edentatus larvae and 95 per cent of the mucosal stages of Trichonema spp. In addition, a virtual 100 per cent elimination of adult stages of large and small strongyles was obtained.
