PROPERTIES:
FARNAM® MECWORMA® & TAPETM ALLWORMER PASTE FOR HORSES is a highly effective broad spectrum anthelmintic achieving up to 100 % worm kill (including benzimidazole resistant strains). MECWORMA® & TAPETM ALLWORMER utilises a combination of two horse wormers from different classes, abamectin (macrocyclic lactone) and morantel tartrate (tetrahydropyrimidine). Abamectin and morantel tartrate are both broad spectrum anthelmintics that allow for combined treatment and control of both large and small strongyles, tapeworm, cutaneous onchocerciasis and nematodes including Habronema and Draschia spp. which cause skin lesions (summer sores). MECWORMA® & TAPETM ALLWORMER contains abamectin, which is the only natural form of the macrocyclic lactone group of anthelmintics. Macrocyclic lactone compounds have revolutionised the control of parasites in animals and are generally regarded as the most effective, least toxic and non-carcinogenic parasiticides yet developed. MECWORMA® & TAPETM paste is easy to administer under a wide range of conditions, with a smooth, sticky consistency that is well accepted. MECWORMA® & TAPETM ALLWORMER has a wide safety margin at the recommended dose level when administered to foals, pregnant mares, and aged or debilitated horses.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
The recommended dose level of 5.4 g/100 kg bodyweight. MECWORMA® & TAPETM ALLWORMER controls the following parasites: Tapeworm (Anoplocephala perfoliata): Large Strongyles: Strongylus vulgaris (adult and arterial larval stages), Strongylus edentatus (adult and tissue stages), Strongylus equinus (adult) and Triodontophorus spp. (adult): Small Strongyles: Including benzimidazole resistant strains (adult and immature) Cyathostomum spp., Cylicocyclus spp., Cylicostephanus spp. Cylicodontophorus spp., Gyalocephalus spp.: Ascarids: Parascaris equorum (adult and immature): Pinworms: Oxyuris equi, (adult and immature): Hairworms: Trichostrongylus axei (adult).: Lungworms: Dictyocaulus arnfieldi(adult and immature): Bots: Gasterophilus spp. (oral and gastric stages): Intestinal threadworms: Strongyloides westeri (adult): Neck Threadworms: Onchocerca spp. (microfilariae): Large Mouth Stomach Worms: Habronema muscae (adult). It is effective in the control of skin lesions caused by Habronema and Draschia spp. cutaneous larvae (summer sores) and Onchocerca spp. microfilariae (cutaneous onchocerciasis). A complete syringe treats a 600 kg body weight horse. The plunger is calibrated in 100 kg weight increments which each deliver 5.4 g of paste. Adjust the locking ring to the required body weight and depress plunger. Ensure paste is administered on the rear of the tongue and hold horse’s head raised for a few seconds after dosing to ensure the paste is swallowed.
PARASITE CONTROL PROGRAM:
A regular parasite control programme should be undertaken with particular attention paid to breeding stock, foals and yearlings. Contact International Animal Health Products or a veterinarian for a parasite control programme to suit your specific needs.
