The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of
four anthelmintics (piperazine citrate, albendazole, fenbendazole,
ivermectin) against nematodes of free range ducks.
Twenty free-range ducks were selected from different farmer's
house by fecal examination which was infected with
three species of helminths. Ducks were divided into four
treatment groups with five replications. Eggs per gram of
faeces (epg) were calculated on pre-treatment and on day
7th, 14th, 21st and 30th post-treatment. All the anthelmintics
showed 100% efficacy up to 14 days against all helminths
except Amidostomum sp. Fenbendazole showed 100% efficacy
against all nematodes except 67% against Capillaria sp.
up to 21 days. Ivermectin showed 100% efficacy against all
the helminths up to 21 days. Ducks treated with piperazine
citrate, fenbendazole and ivermectin got the maximum protection
against infection with Capillaria sp. In conclusion,
it might be stated that piperazine citrate and ivermectin
showed better efficacy than albendazole and fenbendazole.
