Out of 80 examined goats aged above one year, 14 (17.5%) goats were found to be positive for Strongyliodes nematodes and multiple infection of trematode and cestode was also observed based on the faecal examination. For observing the efficacy of drugs, goats were randomly divided into three groups A, B and C of 3 goat each. Arsenic 200 @ 20 pills and cina 200 @ 20 pills twice a day were given orally to each of the goats group A and B while the goats of group C were kept as untreated control.
