Abstract:The anti-parasitic effect of the orally administered paste formulation of ivermectin (Ivomec) in reindeer was evaluated by means of a trial designed to compare the efficacies of orally and s.c. administered ivermectin at the same dosage (0.2 mg kg-1 body weight) in naturally infected adult reindeer (n = 92). Both formulations were 100% effective against larvae of the warble fly, Oedemagena tarandi, while oral treatment was less efficacious than s.c. injection against parasitic nematodes. Both formulations, but particularly the injectable ivermectin treatment, increased the weight gain of pregnant females compared to that of those not treated.
