Rafoxanide, labelled by 131J, was applied orally in oily solution to cattle and sheep, 12 and 17 mg/kg bodymass, resp. The half time of 131J in blood in 12,5 and 10,5 d for sheep and cattle, resp., the compound is adsorbed to proteins in blood. In the milk a maximal level of 3-3,5 ppm (calculated as total 131J) after 4-6 d was measured. More detailed results regarding the metabolism of rafoxanide are hitherto not possible.
