Description

AMMO^® Rotational Wormer Paste is a palatable, broad spectrum benzimidazole (BZ) group anthelmintic with a wide safety margin for use in horses including foals, yearlings, stallions and pregnant mares. AMMO Rotational Wormer is ideal as an alternative wormer in a rotational worming program.

AMMO Rotational Wormer controls the adult and immature forms of Parascaris equorum, Oxyuris equi, Trichostrongylus axei, Strongylus spp, and susceptible small strongyles and adult Habronema microstoma in horses. It kills the tissue stages of Strongylus edentatus and aids in the control of the migrating stages of Strongylus vulgaris (59-88% activity) with a corresponding reduction in arterial lesions. A reduction in the prevalence of associated colic may be expected. It sterilises worm eggs within 24 hours of dosing. To control bots, trichlorfon may be administered concurrently. AMMO Rotational Wormer may be administered to sick, debilitated or pregnant animals provided normal care is taken in handling them.

The most intensive treatment program, and to maintain effective levels of parasitic eradication is to worm every 6-8 weeks with AMMO Allwormer and rotate with AMMO Rotational Wormer after 12 months. To control bots and tapeworms during this period it is best to give AMMO Allwormer twice in the months of Spring and Autumn for eradication no matter what year it is.

All horses should be included in a regular parasite control programme with particular attention being paid to mares, foals and yearlings. Consult your veterinarian for a control programme to meet your specific needs.
