Group 3: 10 equines those not administered drug therapy, alone parasite burden was assessed using a fecal examination by Willis test. Anthelmintics effectiveness was conducted by counting fecal drug-treated group and the untreated control group. The results Group1 with Ivermectin 2.38 EPG showed pre-treatment and post treatment 7 days EPG 0.48. The group2 with Fenbendazole obtained 2.66 EPG and 7 days post treatment was obtained 0.06 EPG. Group 3 without medication present the following day 1.9 EPG value and then at 7 days 2 EPG. Comparing the effectiveness of both drug treatment and fenbendazole ivermectin antiparasitic indicate that fenbendazole base is more effective against the equine intestinal Strongylus, taking a percentage of 97% in comparison with specifically macrocyclic lactones which Ivermectin obtained a much lower drug efficacy throwing only 76%.
