Received: 22/01/2014 Revised: 27/02/2014 Accepted: 02/03/2014 Abstract A study was conducted to determine and compare the efficacy of fenbendazole and oxyclozanide-tetramisole combination against gastrointestinal nematodes in naturally infected Gaddi goats. On treatment, both the groups i.e. fenbendazole at 7.5 mg / kg body weight and oxyclozanide-tetramisole combination at 1 ml / 3 kg body weight showed a significant reduction in egg counts on day 7 and day 14 post treatment (DPT). However, group treated with fenbendazole showed more efficacy even on day 21 post treatment when compared to the other group.
