In 1978, in the Amur region, USSR, young cattle were treated in January and April with Nilverm (0.01 g/kg body weight in feed), and in October, with Nilverm (0.015 g/kg) or phenothiazine (0.3 g/kg) in feed. Cows were treated individually in the spring with Nilverm at 0.01 g/kg. The results were...

M. digitatus infection in cattle is reported for the first time from the Sakhalin region, USSR. Autopsies revealed infection in every district investigated. The mean prevalence was 51.14% and the mean intensity 102.7 nematodes/animal. Faecal tests were done in 6 districts and were negative in 2...

Cambendazole at 0.03 g/kg body weight given in food in the morning cured Bunostomum infections in only 7% of cattle treated on a farm in the Amur region, USSR.

Schedules and dosages of anthelmintics against M. digitatus in cattle in the Far East of the USSR are given. Nilverm [niclosamide] and mebendazole may be used against both mature and immature nematodes; phenothiazine is effective only against mature M. digitatus.

Benacil (a benzimidazole) at 0.015 g/kg body weight daily, Nilverm at 0.0005 g/kg and ad lib. feeding of a Nilverm-phenothiazine-salt mixture (1:20:180) reduced infection intensities but did not fully protect cattle from Mecistocirrus infection when tested on a farm in the Amur region (USSR). The...
