COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF POUR-ON MOXIDECTIN, FLUMETHRIN AND INJECTABLE INVERMECTIN AGAINST LOUSE INFESTATION IN GOATS

摘要

Goats naturally infested with Linognathus stenopsis lice were treated with moxidection @1 ml/kg, flumethrin @ 1ml/ 10 kg as pour-on formulations and ivermectin @ 0.2 mg/kg subcutaneously. All the three drugs were highly effective in controlling lice in goats. However, treatment with flumethrin offered a shorter protection period (less than 30 days) in comparison to moxidectin and ivermectin.
