Abstract		Efficacy of the combined anthelmintic Fascoverm plus was studied in a total of 120 sheep, aged from 2 to 5 years. The presence of eggs of liver fluke was followed in fecal samples by modified McMaster's method. The animals were treated with a single dose of oral suspension Fascoverm plus, at a dose of 1 ml/5 kg body weight. All animals were infected with adult forms of liver fluke (15 to 55 eggs/g of faeces). The efficacy of the preparatioon was evaluated with results of the study on days 21 and 22 after the treatment. We found completly negative results. In addition, a high rate of infection with gastrointestinal parasites (from 154 to 387 eggs of strongylids type per g of faeces). Efficacy of the preparation was checked on day 7 following the treatment. A comparison of coprologic results before the treatment and one week after again proved a negative results. Efficacy studies were also performed in lambs that were naturally infected with broad tapeworm of the Moniezia spp. A great number of eggs of Anoplocephalidae were detected (5 to 35 eggs/g of faeces). The preparation given in the prescribed dose was established as highly effective also from these parasites. A therapeutic dose of 10 mg/kg closantel and 15 mg/kg mebendazole produce high protection against all economically important diseases caused by parasites of sheep.
