The infestations by intestinal roundworms in fowls is responsible for a number of gastrointestinal problems. The common nematodes of the digestic tract of poultry are Heterakis gallinarum, H. indicn, Ascaridia galli, Capillaria spp., Strongyloides avium and Trichostrongylus tenuis.

Benzimidazole Carbamates An extensive survey of mebendazole and related 5-substituted benzimidazole anthelmintics is available. The biochemical characterisation of a helminth (Ascaridia galli) tubulin, the proposed binding site of the benzimidazole carbamates, has been achieved following purification by column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. A single peak was responsible for both colchicine and parbendazole binding activity.

In the field of animal experiment Chandler and his associates (1943, 1950) have shown that the establishment and development of tapeworms in rats show a positive correlation with the amount of carbohydrate in the diet. The type of carbohydrate provided made some difference to the growth of the worms Hymenolepis diminuta), starch being better than sugar, but on the whole there were more and bigger worms when the rats diets contained more and better carbohydrate. The same worker (Chandler, 1943) was unable to induce H. diminuta to establish itself in female rats whose diet was entirely free of all B complex vitamins. Lack of calcium and phosphorus has been shown to impair the growth and development of some bird helminths. Ascaridia galli failed to thrive in chicks on a low-calcium and -phosphorus diet, and their number and size increased when the chicks were fed a diet adequately supplied with these minerals (Gaafar and Ackert, 1953).
