Anthelmintic efficacy studies involving 49 cattle either naturally or artificially infected with F. hepatica are described. Some of the animals were also artificially infected with H. placei and B. phlebotomum. At dosage rates of 3.75 and 5.0 mg/kg live mass rafoxanide was 64.6 and 92.6% effective, respectively, against adult naturally acquired infestations of F. hepatica. At 7.5 and 10.0 mg/kg it was 37.9 and 55.7% effective against 42-day old F. hepatica. At 7.5 mg/kg it was 100, 87.4 and 94.6% effective against mature F. hepatica, fourth stage H. placei and adult B. phlebotomum, respectively.
