The efficacy of albendazole against some gastrointestinal nematodes in goats
On the basis of worm counts in naturally infected Angora-X goats, alhendazole at either 3.8mg/kg repeated after 24 hours or as a single dose at 7.6mg/kg, was >99% effective in removing adult Ostertagia and Trichostrongylus spp. Small numbers of adult Haemonchus contortus, Cooperia sp. and Chabertia ovina were present in control but not treated animals. The single dose of 7.6mg/kg removed >99% of adult Oesophagostomum venulosum whereas the repeated dose of 3.8mg/kg removed only 96%.
