Oxyclozanide in dairy cattle in the Cajamarca valley, as an alternative in the control of Calicophoron microbothrioides. J.Selva Andina Anim. Sci.

The present investigation evaluates oxyclozanide's efficacy in controlling Calicophoron microbothrioides in dairy cows from a cattle farm in the Cajamarca valley. Fifteen Holstein Friesian cows naturally infected with C. microbothrioides, were orally administered oxyclozanide at a single therapeutic dose of 17 mg/kg live weight. Coproparasitological analyses were performed using the Fecal Egg Count Reduction Test at 10, 20 and 30 days after administration of the antiparasitic. The results show that oxyclozanide was effective at days 10 (100 %), 20 (98.96 %), and 30 (97.92 %). It is concluded that the evaluated antiparasitic caused a drastic reduction in the egg count, so it is considered an effective paranfistomicide in the control of C. microbothrioides in cattle of the evaluated farm.
