G, Requião L, Oms PA Genotoxity of nitroxynil and moxydectin in sheep, Onl J Vet Res.,
9 (2) :79-82, 2005. Micronuclei assays were used to determine the genotoxicity of nitroxynil (Devoxin®) and moxidectin
(Cydectin®) given 1ml/50kg and 1ml/25kg at
45 and 105 days of age, respectively, in 2 groups of 5 Suffolk sheep. There was
no significant difference between treated and control (untreated newborn)
animals in the frequency of micronucleated cells.
KEY WORDS: micronucleus assays, genoxicity, anthelmintics, sheep.
