Evaluation of albendazole in cattle naturally infected with nematodes.
Albendazole (7.5 mg/kg of body weight) was given to 10 calves naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes. Ten similar calves served as controls. The compound provided 99% to 100% efficacy in removing Haemonchus placei, Ostertagia ostertagi, Trichostrongylus axei, T colubriformis, Nematodirus spathiger, N helvetianus, N filicollis, Cooperia oncophora, C punctata, and Oesophagostomum radiatum.
