| Abstract | ||
| One hundred and seven ruminant animals were found to harbour trichostrongyl, ascarid and trichurid nematodes. They were I/M injected with Stronglinject L (Levamisole hydrochloride, Virbac) at a dose of 1 ml/10 Kg B.W. The drug caused a markedly significant drop in the mean feacal egg count particularly that of trichostrongyl worms. The efficacy rates were 85-100 % against Haemonchus sp., Bunostomum sp., Cooperia sp., Nematodirus sp. and Trichostrongylus sp.,While Stronglinject L proved to be highly effective against Toxocara vitulorum in buffalo calves (91.7%) it was ineffective against Trichuris sp., in sheep or camels where the efficacy rates were 13.7 % and 15.7% respectively. The drug was non ovicidal and there was no any untoward effect on the treated animals but unexpected improvement in the health conditions has been noticed. | ||
