abstract
The present clinical study was undertaken on the gastrointestinal nematodosis in the sheep of Ganderbal district (organized and unorganized sectors) of Kashmir valley. A total of 120 rams in the age group of 2-3years (60 in the organised sector and 60 in the un-organised sector) found positive for gastrointestinal nematodosis were selected for the therapeutic trail. The animals divided into 3 groups of 20 animals each in both sectors. Group I animals received oxfendazole @ 5mg/Kg b.wt. Single dose orally, group II received fenbendazole @ 5mg/Kg b.wt. Single dose orally, while as group III was kept as an infected control group. The therapeutic efficacy of oxfendazole was found to be 97.69% and 99.13% in organized and unorganized sectors at day 14 respectively and that of fenbendazole was found to be 68.46% and 98.26% in organized and unorganized sectors respectively.
