“…The CWE, HWE and EtE extracts of E. rowlandii inhibited the egg hatching mechanism with the highest effects exhibited by the CWE (661.9 µg/ml). This value was similar to the results obtained by Jabbar et al (2007) in one hand, during their in vitro study with the aqueous and methanolic plant extracts of Chenopodium album and Caesalpinia crista and on the other hand by Adama et al (2009) during their in vitro study with the aqueous extracts of Anogeissus leiocarpus and Daniellia oliveri on the eggs of H. contortus. The egg hatching could have been inhibited by saponins in the extracts, as these molecules are known to stop nematodes from egg hatching (Camurca-Vasconcelos et al, 2007;Eguale et al, 2011).…”

In vitro ovicidal and larvicidal activities of extracts of the seeds of Embelia rowlandii were investigated on unembryonated and embryonated eggs, first and second stage larvae of Heligmosomoides bakeri. Three different extracts were prepared with distilled water (DW) and 95% ethanol. The organic extract was first diluted with 3% Tween and then distilled water added to obtain five different concentrations (625, 1250, 2500, 3750 and 5000 µg/ml). These concentrations were put in contact with eggs and larvae of H. bakeri. One milliliter of each extract at different concentrations and controls were added to 1 ml solution containing 30 to 40 eggs or 10 to 15 larvae (L 1 and L 2 larvae) and distributed in different Petri dishes. Both eggs and larvae were incubated at 24°C and exposure time was 48 h for fresh (unembryonated) eggs, 6 h for embryonated eggs, 24 h for L 1 and L 2 larvae, respectively. Distilled water and 3% Tween were used as negative controls in the bioassay. These placebos neither affected egg development, hatching nor larval survival. A significant effect was obtained with cold water extract (CWE), hot water extract (HWE) and ethanolic extract (EtE) and differences were observed depending on the parasitic stage. CWE, HWE and EtE inhibited embryonic development (60.5, 82.5 and 46.9%) and hatching (85.8, 74.1 and 41.0%), respectively at 5000 µg/ml. All the three extracts killed both L 1 larvae (84.5, 86.0 and 61.2%) and L 2 larvae (65.2, 83.7 and 33.3%) respectively at 5000 µg/ml. These in vitro results suggest that extracts of E. rowlandii possess ovicidal and larvicidal properties.

“…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. A study by Jabbar et al (2007) has suggested that Chenopodium album and C. ambrosioides possess strong anti-parasitic activity against sheep gastrointestinal nematodes. Several other plants have been used as therapeutics or are thought to have some anti-helminthic properties because of a high content of various natural parasiticides (e.g., fi licid acid in male fern or thujon in tansy; Waller et al, 2001).…”

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

et al. 2016

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.
