  • Title: Efficacy of febantel paste against naturally acquired gastrointestinal nematodes of cattle.
    Author: Courtney CH, Shearer JK, Zeng QY, Arther RG.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1988 Sep 15; 193(6):665-7. PubMed ID: 3192439.
    Abstract:
    Twenty calves with naturally acquired gastrointestinal nematode infections were assigned to 10 replicates of 2 calves each and were treated with febantel paste (5 mg/kg of body weight, PO) or an equivalent volume of paste vehicle (control calves). Adverse reactions were not observed after febantel treatment. At necropsy, gastrointestinal nematode counts in febantel-treated calves, compared with control calves, were reduced by over 99% for all major species except Trichuris discolor, counts of which were reduced by only 69%. Counts of gastrointestinal nematode eggs in feces of febantel-treated calves were reduced by 100% after treatment.
