Abamectin acts by binding selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.
This leads to hyperpolarisation of these cells, resulting in flaccid paralysis and death of the parasite.
Morantel is a depolarising neuromuscular blocking agent producing paralysis by causing muscle contraction.
Dosage and Administration Horses:
The contents of one 32.5 g syringe are sufficient to treat one horse of 600 kg bodyweight. Doses are described in mL, corresponding to the markings on the dial-a-dose syringe.
Foals and Ponies: administer 5 mL per 100 kg bodyweight.
AMMO ALLWORMER is safe for use in pregnant mares, in foals over one week of age, and in debilitated & convalescent animals.
A year round worming prevention and treatment program varies with climatic and stocking conditions, but, in general terms all horses should be wormed every 6 - 8 weeks, commencing at approximately 6 weeks of age.
