Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to clearify the efficacy of Albendazole at dose rate 15 mg/kg b.wt. and Mirazid (Commiphora Mol-Mol or Myrrh)at dose rate 10 mg/kg b.wt in treatment of fascioliasis in cattle. The results revealed that Albendazole resulted in efficacy 100% but in the 5th week post-treatment, reshedding of eggs in the faecees occurred, meaning that Albendazole is effective against mature flukes only. However Mirazid revealed that it is effective at 5th week until 12th week and its efficacy was 90% and 85% in 3 successive days or 6 successive days doses of treatment, respectively. It is concluded that Mirazid proved to be effective anti-fascioliasis drug but need development to prolonged times of administration of the drug.
