Abstract
A fenbendazole and triclabendazole combination was tested against experimentally induced 6- and 14-week-old infections of Fasciola hepatica and naturally acquired infections of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep. Forty-eight sheep were divided randomly into six treatment groups of eight animals each. At 7.5 and 10.0 mg kg −1 body weight (BW) (3.75 and 5.0 mg kg −1 BW of each drug), the drug combination was 98.3 and 99.7% effective against 6-week-old F. hepatica infections, and 100 and 99.9% effective against 14-week-old infections. At the same drug dosages, the drug combination was effective against naturally acquired adult Ostertagia spp. (97.3–100%) and adult Nematodirus spp. (90.3–99.9%). No adverse effects associated with treatment were noted.
