Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the comparative efficacies of two different commercial products containing nitroxynil against liver fluke infestation for a period of 28 days by using 18 cattle. Materials and Methods: Eighteen cattle were divided into 3 groups (A, B and C) where each group consisted of six cattle.
