Destomycin A was mixed in feed at the level of 10 mg/ton of feed, which was fed to pigs and chicken for two months in order to evaluate the deworm effects on intestinal parasites and to observe effects ofthe drug on growth and reproduction performance of tested animals. Trials were conducted on 25 pigs including 9 growing pigs, 5 gilts and 6 sows of Mong Cai breed, 5 boars of yorkshire breed and 10 hens of Tam Hoang. Numbers of parasite eggs in feces were counted just before and during by testing, using McMaster method. During testing of 2 months, samples of feces were collected from each animal at the interval of 10 days. Results showed that there was no presence of Ascaris egg in feces of pigs and chicken at days 10 - 20 after the starting of drug feeding, and no presence of trichuris and Capillaria in feces of pigs and chicken, respectively, at days 20 - 40.
