Same as for goats, I'll check the label.

also Ivormectin for other worms and parasites.

Equimax or Zimectrin Gold. Dose at two times the labeled horse dose if using Equimax, and three times the labeled horse dose if using Zimectrin Gold. This results in a dosage of 3mg/kg of the active ingredient. The two products have different dosages because they have different concentrations of praziquantel.

Supposedly only one dose is needed but I have never used these products.

Those are the two that the Merck Vet manual show also.
