Comparison of the Anthelmintic Efficacy of Three Commercial Products
against Ascarids and Capillaria SPP. in Fighting Cocks
150
mes from common species of poultry-infecting nema-
todes has been demonstrated [13]; however, as far as we
know, combination regimes employing an ivermectin/
praziquantel/fenbendazole formulation with these anthel-
mintics in fighting cocks have not as yet been reported.
These results have demonstrated that combined dosing
of some commercial anthelmintics provides highly pro-
mising efficacy against gastrointestinal nematodes on
fighting cooks maintaining good health status, which is
highly required for better performance in the fighting
arena.
5. Conclusions
The combined administration of either ivermectin/prazi-
quantel/fenbendazole or abamectin/albendazole adminis-
tered in tablets at the producer’s recommended dose ex-
erted high efficacy against Ascarids and Capillaria spp.
in naturally infected fighting cocks
