The evaluation of anthelmintics for the removal of gastro-intestinal nematodes of sheep—an improved form of the controlled test

  • T. E. Gibson (a1)
Extract

A modification of the controlled test is described. This is designed to assess the value of a drug against immature as well as against the adult stages of the gastrointestinal nematodes of sheep. The use of faecal egg-count data in the assessment of anthelmintic activity is compared with the critical and controlled tests and the comparative value of all three types of test is discussed.
