Abstract

ABSTRACTComparative anthelmintic efficacy of doramectin, albendazole and levamisolewas evaluated in 40 sheep naturally parasitized with Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus,Oesophagostomum and Ostertagia species. Doramectin, albendazole and levamisolewere found 100, 97.88 and 99.83% effective, respectively in reducing egg per gram offeces. The animal treated with these anthelmintics gained more weight gain ascompared to untreated control. It was recommended that doramectin can be used as adrug of choice against nematodes of sheep followed by levamisole and albendasole .
