The anthelmintic efficacy of albendazole intra-ruminal slow release capsules (SRC) and albendazole drench against field strains of 5 genera of nematode parasites of sheep, where compared. The SRC reduced. the number of L4 and adult Nematodirus by 64.1 % and 58,3% and the aIbendazole drench by 98,1% and 99,1%, respectively. Neither formulation was more than 89,5%1 effective against either the L4 or adult stage of Teladorsagia. The efficacy of both formulations against the adult stages of Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus· and Oesophagostomum ranged from 95,9 to 99,9%
