CONFIRMATION OF THE EFFICACY OF IVOMEC~R AGAINST SARCOPTESSCABIEl VAR. SUIS IN SWINE

摘要

It is well known that IVOMEC (ivermectin) administered subcutaneously (SC) (300 mu g/kg) or in feed during 7 days (100 mu g/kg/d) is highly efficient against Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis (1, 2, 3). The present studies were undertaken (1) to confirm that IVOMEC injected intramuscularly (IM) is as efficient against S. scabiei as injected SC and to assess injection site reactions; and (2) to determine alternative dosage levels and length of time for administration of IVOMEC in feed.
