Willis method was applied for feces test and Stoll method was used for counting nematode larves (LPG). After confirm worm contamination and counting <I>Trichostrongylus colubriformis</I> nematode larves in feces in infected animals, ivermectin (0.5 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP>) pour-on was administered. Feces test was repeated in 1st, 7th, 21st and 28th day after treatment. Results showed that total prevalence of <I>Trichostrongylus colubriformis</I> nematode infections was 20% in cattle&#146;s of Tabriz area.
