The viability of the formulation with nematophagous fungi D. flagrans was evaluated in the biological control of cattle gastrointestinal nematodes. Two groups, with eight Holsteinzebu calves each, it was placed in two lots grazed with Brachiaria decumbens on four hectare each one. The experiment started in March of 2005 and turn off in September of 2005. In the control group (A), each animal received 20 grams without fungus of the pellets; in the treated group (B), the animals received 20 grams of with D. flagrans fungus pellets. The counting of the infective larvae recovered in the paddock of the group B, it harvested until 20 centimeters of the distance in the dung pats, it was lower than in the plot A (P<0.01) harvested until 20 centimeters in the distance in the dung pat), there was significative reduction in the larvae recovered in the pasture in 53, 71, 65 e 85 %, respectably, in the April, July, August and September months. The genera Cooperia was the most prevalence (59.9 %). The monthly averages of the weight were bigger in the group B (P<0.05), there was difference between the group B and A in relation in profit weight, in June, July, August and September in de 21, 13, 8,5 e 20 %, respectably. The accountings of the egg per grams of the feces were obtained by the of the Gordon & Whitlock; modified by Lima, and of the Wisconsin of the Cox & Todd, for dairy cattle, modified by Ito techniques and they present differences in the value of the eggs per grams counts for control and treated group (P<0.05). It was observed significative reduction in the count eggs obtained by Gordon & Whitlock technique in May, June, July and August months in treated group in the 35, 46, 36 e 30 % , respectably e do not significative reduction in September (26 %). By Wisconsin modified technique, it there were difference in the June, July and August months in 58, 47 e 51 %, in the treated group, in relation in the control group and do not significative reduction in May (26 %) and September (25 %). It can to conclude that the application of the sodium alginate pellets with nematophagous fungus D. flagrans is effective in the control of the infective larvae of the bovine.
