Abstract
In sheep, guinea-fowl chicks and laying hen-pheasants, dosed orally with 14C-mebendazo1e, radioactivity was distributed in several compartments. The terminal half-life was between 189.6 and 304.8 h in sheep and between 132.5 and 150.6 h in birds. Radioactivity was detected in all the tissues examined and rather high residual concentrations were present in the melanin-containing tissues and in the liver, 15 days (guinea-foul chicks and hen-pheasants) and 30 days (sheep) after administration. In sheep liver a concentration of 1.23 μg unchanged mebendazole per g of wet tissue was measured 30 days after dosing.
