Resistance of Cooperia spp. and Haemonchus spp. to avermectins in beef cattle

Two fecal count-reducing-tests in infected bovines were performed considering eggs per gram. In the first test it was used four treated groups with ivermectin 1% (IVM), experimental endectocid product (EEP), ivermectin LA 1% (IVMLA) e doramectin 1% (DRM). Evaluating the finds of eggs per gram in a 14-day-period after treatment and comparing with the control group it was observed the following efficacy rates: 1.3% to IVM, 100.0% to EEP, 18.9% to IVMLA and 50.6% to DRM. Helminthes genders found were Cooperia and Haemonchus. The second test was performed to evaluate moxidectin 1% and abamectin 1% and results showed efficacy over 99.0% for both.
