Abstract

A study of comparative efficacy of six different commercial anthelmintic formulations against  natural helminth infestations in sheep was  conducted. Pre and post-treatment EPG (eggs per  gram) values were recorded and efficacies  compared. Results showed that a combination of  Ivermectin and Clorsulon in injectable form gave  the overall highest curative rate against the  parasites studied.
