Background This study was performed to investigate the efficacy of a morantel–abamectin combination for the treatment of macrocyclic lactone ( ML )‐resistant Parascaris spp. infections in foals. Methods Foals on five properties with a Parascaris faecal egg count ( FEC ) > 50 eggs per gram were used to estimate the FEC reduction ( FECR ) and efficacy of the anthelmintic combination. Results & Conclusion On all properties, resistance to ivermectin and abamectin was present and the Parascaris FECR in foals administered the morantel–abamectin combination was > 99%, indicating that this combination effectively controlled ML ‐resistant parasites.
