Table 7 Faecal egg count reduction (and 95% confidence intervals) and EC50 (and 95% confidence intervals) in the egg hatch test with male goats experimentally infected with Haemonchus contortus isolates collected from local abattoirs of Nyala and Kass, South Darfur State, Sudan, before and after oral administration of 5 or 10 mg/kg body weight albendazole to the treated groups

  1. an = 16 (8 for each group, treated and control)
  2. bn = 8
  3. cFECRs were calculated either by comparing data post treatment between treatment and control group (unpaired) or between data post and pre treatment (paired)
  4. dNo control group available since the initial control group was treated with 10 mg/kg albendazole
