Abstract

A comparative efficacy of piperazine, albendazole and ivermectin against natural infection of Toxocara vitulorum based on faecal egg count in calves was studied. Early recovery was found with piperazine than with either albendazole or ivermectin. However, all the three drugs were effective against ascariasis in cattle calves.
