OBJECTIVE: To confirm that ivermectin fed for 7 days to pregnant sows controls transmission of Strongyloides ransomi larvae to pigs via the colostrum or milk.
ANIMALS: 24 mixed-breed sows.
PROCEDURE: The sows were infected with 250,000 S ransomi larvae on 3 occasions (days 63, 64, or 65, days 71 or 73, and days 78, 79, or 80 of gestation). Eight sows received ivermectin at a dosage of 100 micrograms of ivermectin/kg of body weight/d from days 92 to 99 of gestation, and 8 sows were treated from days 103 to 110 of gestation; 8 remaining sows received unmedicated vehicle. Numbers of S ransomi larvae were counted in samples of colostrum or milk collected 1, 2, and 7 days after parturition. At 7 and 14 days after parturition, fecal samples were collected from each sow and from 4 pigs from each litter for determination of nematode egg counts; at the latter date, pigs were euthanatized and necropsied for worm counting.
RESULTS: Pigs born to ivermectin-treated sows had significantly (P < 0.01) fewer adult S ransomi than did those born to control sows; efficacy was 100%. Treated sows had significantly (P < 0.05) fewer S ransomi larvae in colostrum/milk samples taken 1, 2, and 7 days after parturition than did control sows; efficacy was 100%, with the exception of 1 S ransomi larva found in a milk sample from 1 treated sow at 2 days after parturition.
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Ivermectin fed to sows during the last third of gestation at a dosage of 100 micrograms/kg/d for 7 consecutive days is highly efficacious for control of transmission of infective S ransomi larvae to pigs via colostrum or milk.
