Abstract
In recent years, horse breeding has been gradually reviving. Pedigree stud farms for breeding different horse breeds are developing, and the role of work horses in farms and the private sector has significantly increased. Nevertheless, helminthiases are a serious problem in the development of horse breeding. To determine the infection of horses with helminths, 53 animals were subjected to scatological research: 11 animals at the age from 1 to 2.5 years, 9 animals from 3 to 5 years, 20 animals from 6 to 10 years, and 13 animals from 11 years to 21 years. One day of inactivity of horses infected with gastrointestinal strongylates will cost the farm 72,000 Rubles. Considering that the animals must be on the farm for another 10 days after deworming until the animals are completely free of the invasion, the possible damage to the farm from inactivity of work horses increases to 720,000 Rubles. Economic efficiency per 1 Ruble of costs for deworming horses with an anthelmintic drug containing albendazole amounted to 6.01 Rubles, that containing eprinomectin – 3.9 Rubles, and that containing praziquantel + ivermectin – 5.8 Rubles.
