Field evaluation of Ivermectin and Mebendazole treatment against gastrointestinal parasites in stable horse.

Deworming is one of the routine healthcare iquine management especially for stable horses. Even healthy horses harbor some adult worms and eggs and the incidence of clinical and sub0clinical diseases of horses can be minimized through controlling the gastrointestinal parasites. It was the objectiv...
