Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (anti-parasitic) drug commonly used in animal feed. It is effective against various types of internal parasites, including worms, flukes, and some protozoa. Albendazole acts by interfering with the metabolism of these parasites, ultimately causing their death.
When included in feed formulations, Albendazole helps to control and prevent parasitic infestations in animals. It is commonly used in livestock, including cattle, sheep, goats, and swine. The drug is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the animal’s body, ensuring systemic action against parasites.
