STRONGYLE encysted L3 larvae

WHY my vet friend recommended fenbendazole along with ICUS protocol, it kills the encysted L3 LARVAE
It’s only quite recently that we’ve been
able to tackle the problem of encysted small
strongyles, which are left completely
unscathed by most deworming drugs, including
ivermectin. Only two drugs are
considered larvicidal against encysted
small strongyles: Moxidectin (at 0.4 mg/kg)
and fenbendazole (10 mg/kg daily for five
consecutive days), which are both known
to kill significant proportions of the encysted
cyathostome larvae within the gut
mucosa. link to full article http://www.equineservices.com/images/files/Strongyles%202004.pdf
