The effect of fenbendazole on nematode parasites in experimentally infected lambs.
Fenbendazole given orally to experimentally infected lambs at a dose rate of 5 mg per kg was found to be 100 per cent effective against three and 10-day larave and also against 20-day adults of H contortus, O circumcincta, N battus and T colubriformis. The same dose was also 100 per cent effective against 10-day, 17-day larvae and 27-day adult D filaria.
