SUMMARY: The efficacies of fenbendazole and thiabendazole against artifically acquired cattle nematodes and the efficacies of fenbendazole, parbendazole and levamisole against naturally acquired cattle nematodes were studied in western Victoria. Fenbendazole significantly (P < 0.05) reduced numbers of late and early fourth stage larvae (> 96%), artificially acquired Cooperia spp (100%) and naturally acquired adult Ostertagia ostertagi (98%) and Trichostrongylus axel (90%). Thiabendazole significantly reduced numbers of artificially acquired late fourth stage larvae (83%) and parbendazole significantly reduced numbers of adult O. ostertagi (72%) in one group of cattle. Fenbendazole was the most effective anthelmintic.
