In experimentally-infected sheep, hexachlorophene at 15 mg. per kg. body-weight, formulated as a paste, gave mean clearances of 69 and 82% of 6 and 8-week-old Fasciola hepatica respectively, but there was no activity against 4-week-old flukes. At 10 mg. per kg., mean percentage clearances of 6 and 8-week- old F. hepatica were 61 and 67 respectively; clearance of 10-week-old flukes was 73%. Doses of 15 and 10 mg. per kg. approximate to the extremes of the dose range recommended in the field.
