Eprinomectin 'pour-on' and the shedding of Haemonchus contortus eggs in experimentally infected goats.
The effect of eprinomectin on goats experimentally infected with the nematode Haemonchus contortus was investigated. Faecal analysis showed that a single dose of eprinomectin 'pour-on' delayed the onset of shedding of eggs for 10 to 17 days.
