The effect of a single injection of nitroxynil at 20 mg/kg live mass in the treatment of parafilaria bovicola infestations in cattle.
The efficacy of nitroxynil administered once by subcutaneous injection at a dosage regimen of 20 mg/kg live mass was evaluated against natural infestations of parafilaria bovicola in cattle. Trial animals were slaughtered 14 weeks after treatment. Treatment reduced the number of bleeding points by 97,8%, eosinophil-positive carcass lesions by 85,7% and eosinophil-positive lesion area by 92,8%, compared with controls.
