| [use of mebendazole for helminthiases in chickens and geese]. | 103 chickens experimentally infected with capillaria obsignata were treated with mebendazol at a dose of 30 mg/kg body-weight daily for 3 consecutive days. the effectiveness of the drug on the 4th stage larvae as well as immature and mature 5th stage forms were 92,5%, 98% and 98,8% respectively. in another experiment to 32 chickens experimentally infected with syngamus trachea mebendazol was given at 40 mg/kg body-weight on 3 successive days. mebendazol removed the immature and mature gape worms ... | 1973 | 18777386 |
