Eighty-two horses received fenbendazole (10.0 mg\/kg [4.5 mg\/lb], PO, q 24 h for 5 days) or moxidectin (0.4 mg\/kg [0.18 mg\/lb], PO, once); FEC data were analyzed 14, 45, and 90 days after treatment.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014Mean FEC reduction was 99.9% for moxidectin-treated mares and 41.9% for fenbendazole-treated mares 14 days after treatment. By 45 days, mean FEC of fenbendazole-treated mares exceeded pretreatment counts; however, FECs of moxidectin-treated mares remained suppressed below pretreatment values for the duration of the 90-day study. Fecal egg counts were significantly different between groups at 14, 45, and 90 days after treatment.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Failure of the 5-day regimen of fenbendazole to adequately reduce or suppress FEC suggested inadequate adulticidal and larvicidal effects. In contrast, a single dose of moxidectin effectively reduced and suppressed FEC for an extended period. Given the diverse geographic origins of study mares, these results are likely representative of cyathostomin-infected mares in much of the United States, confirming previous findings indicating that fenbendazole resistance in cyathostomins is widespread and that moxidectin remains an effective treatment for control of these important parasites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.245.8.944","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,6]],"date-time":"2014-10-06T14:25:35Z","timestamp":1412605535000},"page":"944-951","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparison
