dc.description.abstract A field trial was conducted to test the anthelmintic effect of a single dose of 4g of copper oxide wire particles (COWP) in bolus form in indigenous goats belonging to small scale communal farmers in three areas in the Bergville district of Kwa-Zulu Natal Province, South Africa namely Dukuza, Ogade and Hoffenthal. Faecal egg counts (FECs) determined by both the McMaster and Pitchford–Visser methods, FAMACHA en

Faecal cultures were done to determine the generic composition of the gastro-intestinal nematodes in the experimental animals. Monitoring commenced in October 2007 and extended to October 2008. During November 2007, a pilot faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT), done on 75 goats not included in the trial, confirmed the efficacy of 12 mg/kg levamisole (Tramisol, Coopers, Afrivet, South Africa) in the area relative to three other anthelmintic groups. All trial goats were treated with 12 mg/kg levamisole when a en
