Abstract: The Brazilian equine herd is composed of approximately 5.5 million heads, being the largest in South America, and as the creation of these animals on pasture in the country is favored by the extensive area of pastures combined with the tropical climate, there is greater development, ingestion and infestation of endoparasites by animals, which are responsible for several losses. The ozone used works as a therapeutic agent in a large number of pathologies, representing a natural and low-cost therapy when compared to other antiparasitic drugs has few contraindications and minimal side effects when performed at the right dosage. Therefore, the objective of this work is to test was to evaluate the efficacy of the use of ozonized sunflower oil administered orally in two different doses, compared to the use of dewormer based on ivermectin and praziquantel, in reducing the egg count of gastrointestinal parasites in the OPG technique in horses. The study involved 29 horses, divided into 4 groups to receive different treatments, being G1- control, G2- 8 ml ozonized sunflower oil Ozo3® (20 micrograms /100 ml), G3- 10 ml ozonized sunflower oil Ozo3® (20 micrograms /100 ml), G4- anthelmintic (anthelmintic Ivermic® equine tenicide (ivermectin 1% and praziquantel 15%), at a dose of 1.6 g/100 kg, and followed the schedule: Day 0: OPG in all animals for the division of groups. Day 7- The treatments were performed on the animals following the protocol for each. Day 14- Feces examinations (OPG) were repeated in the animals of the study groups, and the results tabulated and evaluated. The treatment with vermifuge (ivermectin 1% and paraziquantel 15%), was more effective in reducing the parasite load, but the ozonized oil was also effective in reducing the parasite load, in the two doses applied, with greater effectiveness in G2 (10 ml).
