Abstract
The concentration of ivermectin in the plasma of reindeer was measured after it was administered either topically as a pour-on preparation a t 500 mu g kg(-1) bodyweight at different seasons to animals of differ ent ages, or after subcutaneous and oral doses of 200 mu g kg(-1) body weight. The plasma concentrations of ivermectin were highest and least variable after it was administered subcutaneously.
