Abstrakt: The study revealed that the overall prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection in cattle of Assam was 41% (134/325). Among 134 infected cattle 24 animals with >200 EPG of similar age group were selected randomly and divided into four groups (T1, T2, T3 and T4) to record the anthelmintic efficacy and haematological parameters. The animals of group T1, T2 and T3 were treated with fenbendazole @ 5 mg/kg body weight (BW), albendazole @ 7.5 mg/kg BW and levamisole @ 7.5 mg/kg BW orally, respectively and group T4 was kept as infected untreated control group. On the basis of FECRT, the efficacy of these anthelmintic was found to be 100, 81.27 and 80.00% in the animals of group T1, T2 and T3, respectively. To record the values of haemoglobin (Hb), total erythrocyte count (TEC) and total leukocyte count (TLC), blood from the each infected treated and control animal was collected before and after treatment of 10 days. The increasing values of Hb and TEC were found to be non-significant among the treated groups while infected untreated group showed the decreasing values which were found to be highly significant when compared with treated group. However, increasing value of TLC was found to be significant in group T1, non-significant in T2 and highly significant among T3 group. These three anthelmintics have wide therapeutic index and they may kill or restrain egg production of GINs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
