Abstract
Helminthiasis due to roundworms is a major problem and constraint to the intensive and large scale rearing of sheep in Malaysia. A trial using the anthelmintic invermectin was undertaken to determine its efficacy against nematodes of sheep and to establish a treatment interval for prophylaxis in a sheep farm near Ipoh Perak. The efficacy was 100 for adult Haemonchus contortus adult and immature Trichostrongylus colubriformis and adult Oesophagostomum columbianum. Treatment at monthly intervals resulted in very few strongyle eggs ( mean 22 epg) low egg counts in the two-month-treatment-interval group (mean 111 epg) and a mean of 407 epg in the control (untreated) group. The sheep showed no adverse effects due to invermectin administration.
