ABSTRACT
Eighteen jirds were equally distributed in two treated and one control groups. The commercial products to the fenbendazole base (10mg) and the association of febantel (1.5mg), pirantel (1.44mg) and praziquantel (0.5mg) were orally administred in the concentration of 0.1ml in each group. The effectiveness of febendazole against oxiurids was 81.8%, 65.0 and 38.7% and for the association of febantel, pirantel and praziquantel was 72.7%, 73.8% and 51.0% on days 7, 14 and 21, respectively. Three applications of that dose of the tested medications, within intervals of 10 days, associated to hygiene, are recommended.(AU)

The length of gestation and parturition in 147 Arabian Thoroughbred mares were studied. Length of gestation averaged 330 days and was influenced by the age of mare. They were 335, 330 and 328 days for mares aged up to 4 years, 5 to 9 years and over 10 years, respectively. Parturition lasted 56 minutes on average and was not influenced by the reproductive condition of the mare. Most births occurred at night.(AU)
