Abstract
common in Tamil Nadu (Balasubramaniam
et. al., 1973; Lalitha and Anandan, 1986).
Oxyclozanide is a salicylanide compound
commonly used as a flukicide in veterinary
practice (Martin, 1997). The efficacy of this
drug was evaluated by many workers against
amphistomes of sheep in India. Chhabra et
al. (1978) and Sahai et al. (1983) reported
92.02 and 100 % efficacy is oxyclozanide,
respectively against amphistomes of sheep.
However, repeated and improper use of
anthelmintics for the worm control
programme may lead to development of
resistance (Singh et al., 2002). Therefore,
present trial was conducted to know the
efficacy of oxyclozanide against
amphistomes of sheep.
