Abstract

Trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Negasunt powder on maggot wound infestations caused by Chrysomyia bezziana in treated clinical cases of cattle, sheep, goats and dogs. The maggots were found dead or absent in wounds from the second day of application. The wound healing was rapid, and complete cure was recorded in 7 to 18 days. The drug was well tolerated in all the animals.
