The anthelmintic efficacy of oxfendazole and haloxon against arrested Haemonchus contortus larvae in sheep.
In a controlled trial with natural infection of Haemonchus contortus, oxfendazole at 4.53 mg/kg body weight was highly effective against arrested larvae, developmental stages and adult helminths. Haloxon at 40 mg/kg significantly reduced helminth burdens.
