Dewormin, a broad spectrum anthelmintic was assessed in buffalo calves clinically infected with strongyles (Haemonchus sp., Trichostrongylus sp., Bunostomum sp. and Oesophagostomum sp.). Twelve buffalo calves were divided into two groups of 6 animals each. Eggs per gram (EPG) of faeces of all these calves were estimated, which ranged between 2400–9600 in group I and 2400–3500 in group II. Calves of group I were dosed with Dewormin @ 20 g twice daily for two days and group II calves served as infected control. Efficacy of Dewormin was found cent-percent as EPG became zero from 7 to 28 days post-infection.
