【 摘 要 】

Intensive anthelmintic administration was estimated to cause drug resistancy. Research was conducted to determine the efficacy of albendazole and levamisole anthelmintic in thin-tailed sheep infected with gastrointestinal nematode at smallholder farms in Sukomulyo Village, Malang Regency. A total of 65 sheeps naturally infected with nematode worms were administered albendazole (35 tails) and levamisole (30 tails). Observation of egg per grams (EPG) was conducted using modified McMaster method. To determine treatments' efficacy, EPG was conducted before and 2 weeks after treatments' administration. The results showed that in farms that routinely given albendazole, mean treatment efficacy was 83.73% meanwhile in farms that were never receive albendazole was 92.23%. There were no farms that ever receive levamisole before. Mean treatment's efficacy for levamisole was 95.84%. In conclusion, albendazole and levamisole still effective as anthelmintic towards gastrointestinal nematode infection in thin-tailed sheep. However, the possibility of drug resistance needs to be carefully observed, especially for albendazole.
