  This study was conducted in Adaberga dairy farm West Showa Zone, from November, 2014 to April 2015 to evaluate commonly used anthelmintics efficacy against gastrointestinal nematodes. An experimental study design and purposive sampling procedure were employed to select 36 naturally infected jersey breed cattle from source population. And study populations were randomly allocated into three groups, twelve in each; the first group was treated with albendazole, the second with tetraclozan and the last group was left untreated (control). Fecal samples were collected from each cow before and after treatment and modified McMaster method was used to count eggs. Third stage larvae (L3) were recovered from the fecal cultures by the Baerman technique to identify gastrointestinal nematodes. The efficacy of each anthelmintic was determined by Fecal Egg Count Reduction.. Read More»
