Abstract

This discussion will be limited to a consideration of those compounds having therapeutic or prophylactic value against important gastrointestinal helminths and protozoa, liver flukes and lungworms. Only com-pounds possessing some obvious advantages will be covered.

Much of this presentation will be a matter of opinion. My opinion is based sometimes upon facts garnered from a review of the literature, sometimes upon personal experience, and occasionally upon more nebulous factors. I shall strive to keep the latter to a minimum.

At the onset, I would like to call your attention to a paper by Dr. N. F. Baker in the November, 1971, issue of The Bovine Practitioner on anthelmintics in cattle. That paper contains many useful ideas and much valuable information, and I know it has influenced my thinking.
