Albendazole for Sheep: Dosage, Withdrawal & Uses
Albendazole is an approved sheep dewormer with broad activity against gastrointestinal roundworms, tapeworms, lungworms and adult liver flukes. Sheep are dosed a little lower than cattle and goats — roughly 3 mL per 100 lb of the 11.36% liquid.
Need to estimate a volume? Use the general, educational albendazole dose estimator — you enter the dose rate yourself. It is not a prescription; your veterinarian sets the correct dose, route and withdrawal period for sheep.

Safety notes
- Avoid in the first 30 days of pregnancy in ewes.
- Weigh to the heaviest animals in the group and dose accurately to slow resistance.

Dosing and withdrawal figures reflect the 11.36% product label and published references and are educational only — always confirm the current label and consult your veterinarian.
