Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of albendazole administration on parasite infection in the beef cattle. The group of 45 beef cattle were faecal collection and drenched orally with a aqueous suspension of albendazole at a dose of 10 mg/kg and survey by faecal examination with simple sedimentation method. Of the 45 examination, the infection rate was 91 percent, including of Trichostrongylus spp. 80 percent, Paraphistomum 42.2 percent, Fasciolagigantica 6.67 percent, ruminant coccidia oocysts 24.4 percent, Strongyloides papillosus 8.89 percent and Capillaria spp 4.4 percent. One week later all cow were randomized to 11 and do faecal collection for second faecal examination. Of the 11 examinees, the infection rate was 45.5 percent including Trichostrongylus spp, 9 percent, Paraphistomum 18 percent, Ruminant coccidia oocysts 18 percent. Fifteen day after treated with albendazole were faecal collection again from cow in the second examination for third examination. The infection rate of this examination was 72.7 percent. The infection rate were 45 percent with percent, Paraphistomum, 18 percent with Capillaria spp., 63.6 percent with Ruminant coccidian oocysts. The result of this study indicate that albendazole were most affected against Trichostrongylus spp but not affected against Paraphistomum spp., ruminant coccidian oocysts and Capillaria spp.
