Some of the animals were also artificially infested with Haemonchus placei and Bunostomum phlebotomum. At dosage rates of 3,75 and 5,0 mg/kg live mass rafoxanide was 64,6 and 92,6 per cent effective respectively against adult naturally acquired infestations of F. hepatica. At 7,5 and 10,0 mg/kg it was ;)7,9 and 55,7 per cent effective against 42 day old liver f1uke. At 7,5 mg/kg it was 100, 87,4 and 94,6 per cent effective against mature F. hepatica, fourth stage H.placei and adult B.phlebotomum respectively.
