Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of the combination of the active principles Ivermectin and Praziquantel in naturally occurring Criollo horses. Feces were used of 68 adult animals of both sexes, raised in an extensive system and naturally infected with helminths. Samples were processed and analyzed by the technique of Gordon & Whitlock (1939) and the evaluation of the effectiveness of the association of active principles was based on the method of Coles et al. (1992). The Efficacy Index of treatment with the combination of Ivermectin and Praziquantel was 93,2%. Thus, it can be concluded that the association of the active principles used was effective in the treatment of endoparasite in the studied equine population.
