Gnats grow from ascarids; and ascarids are engendered in the slime of wells, or in places where there is a deposit left by the draining off of water. ❋ Unknown (2002)
It is not unlikely that he may have the ascarids, and the lumbrics, and worms within the entrails of his body. ❋ Unknown (2002)
This slime decays, and first turns white, then black, and finally blood-red; and at this stage there originate in it, as it were, little tiny bits of red weed, which at first wriggle about all clinging together, and finally break loose and swim in the water, and are hereupon known as ascarids. ❋ Unknown (2002)
According to the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University, the oil from epazote was used in the early part of the 20th century as a remedy for internal parasites like ascarids and hookworms in humans and animals, though the practice was halted for toxicity reasons. ❋ By AVA CHIN (2011)
Horses can be affected by six major groups of parasites-large strongyles, small strongyles, ascarids, pinworms, bots, and tapeworms. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Fortunately, there are several drenches that are effective against ascarids, but the dose rate is quite high. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Ivermectin will deal with ascarids in all their intestinal forms and delivers an effective killer blow against larvae which have migrated to the lungs or liver. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The magic number in the battle against ascarids is 70: that's the minimum number of days that an ingested ascarid would take within a horse to mature and begin to generate eggs. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Unfortunately, there are very real risks in drenching young horses with a heavy burden of ascarids. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Antibiotics will make no difference as they don't kill ascarids. ❋ Unknown (2009)
You'll still be deworming, of course, it's just that you'll have other enemies in your sights, safe in the knowledge that you've seen off the biggest threat from ascarids. ❋ Unknown (2009)
A horse may be harbouring ascarids in their migratory phase and no eggs will show in the dung sample. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Ivermectin is effective against ascarids at a comparatively modest dose a rate of 0. 2mg per kilogram of body weight. ❋ Unknown (2009)
A drench is starting to look a pretty good alternative for a young horse to a bad-ass bunch of ascarids. ❋ Unknown (2009)
It's possible to find extremely high egg counts but, conversely, it's important to remember that only mature ascarids will be laying eggs. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Mature ascarids are major eggs factories, so a crucial strategy centres on ensuring your young horses do not harbour ascarids long enough to reproduce. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The safest longer-term course is to implement a regular deworming programme in youngsters aimed at ensuring ascarids do not reach dangerous levels. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The last thing a horse owner wants to do is trigger an impaction colic resulting from a mass kill of ascarids. ❋ Unknown (2009)
