“…In the present study the amprolium was also more effective than A. absinthium in suppressing the Eimeria oocyst production. In the earlier studies on intestinal nematodes of sheep A. absinthium was very effective in reducing the faecal egg counts (Tariq et al 2009). However, it was not found effective against coccidian infection in goats.…”

“…It is used in indigenous systems of medicine as a vermifuge, an insecticide, in the treatment of chronic fevers and for inflammation of the liver, as an antispasmodic and antiseptic (Koul 1997). Its essential oil has antimicrobial (Juteau et al 2003), antifungal (Saban et al 2005) and its aerial parts show anthelmintic activity (Tariq et al 2009). …”

Haemonchus contortus infection is the major hurdle in growth and productivity in small ruminants especially in tropical countries. Indiscriminate and long term use of currently available chemotherapeutic agents lead to development of resistance in microorganisms and residual problems in population. Therefore, present study was undertaken to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of aqueous extract of Zanthoxylum armatum DC. seeds against adult H. contortus worms of small ruminants. Proximate analysis of seed powder shows high crude protein, Cu, Zn and Ca concentration. Phytochemical ingredients of extract revealed high total phenolic, flavonoids and tannin contents. In vitro experimental trial revealed complete mortality of H. contortus worms at the concentration of 100 mg/ml at the time exposure of 8 h. At 50 mg/ml concentration the mortality at 6 and 8 h were 45.45 ± 4.55 and 63.64 ± 4.54 %. Median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) at 6 and 8 h were 59.90 and 28.92 mg/ ml, respectively. Levamisole at concentration of 0.5 mg/ml caused 50 % mortality at 2 h post exposure and 100 % mortality at 4 h post exposure. The results confirm the cidal effect of the aqueous extract of Z. armatum DC. seeds on adult H. contortus worms.

“…However, garlic failed to decrease the fecal nematode egg counts in the study by Worku et al (2009) or Burke et al (2009b) in spite of the fact that its active compound (ajoene) caused H. contortus larval-stage mortality in an in vitro experiment (Ahmed et al, 2013). With respect to the wormwoods, Tariq et al (2009) have demonstrated that an A. absinthium extract containing santonin reduced the numbers of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep, in a dose-dependent manner, and the extracts of a similar plant, Artemisia brevifolia, substantially reduced H. contortus egg counts following an oral route of administartion (Iqbal et al 2004). Alternatively, Cabaret (1996) was unable to demonstrate any decrease in fecal egg output of gastrointestinal nematodes after an oral application of Artemisia cina at homeopatic 9 -15 centesimal dilution in lambs.…”

Assessing the usefulness of mineral licks containing herbal extracts with anti-parasitic properties for the control of gastrointestinal helminths in grazing sheep – a field trial

SummaryOne of the alternative methods of parasite control, of particular importance in sustainable farming, is the use of medicinal plants. The specifi c aim of the present fi eld trial was to assess the anti-parasitic effects of herbal extracts contained in a commercially available lick formulation for sheep. At the outset of this study conducted during the grazing season, all animals were de-wormed and then randomly assigned to one of the two separately kept groups (treatment and control), each consisting of 25 animals (11 ewes and 14 lambs). The treatment group received mineral licks containing the extracts of the plants with anti-parasitic properties, while control animals received standard mineral licks ad libitum. Rectal fecal samples were collected monthly from all animals for the McMaster analyses. There were no signifi cant differences in the prevalence and intensity of helminth infections between the treatment and control groups. Thus, we were not able to ascertain the effi cacy of the commercial herbal de-wormer tested for the control of gastrointestinal helminths in grazing ewes and their lambs.
