“…However, there was no effect on the parasite count of adults recovered from goats (Costa-Júnior et al ., 2014). The supplementation of goats with sorghum grains, containing high levels of condensed tannins, and the administration of commercial preparation of condensed tannins obtained from the bark of A. mearnsii did not significantly influence EPG (Whitley et al ., 2009; Max, 2010). According to Costa-Júnior et al .…”

Anthelmintic activity of plants against gastrointestinal nematodes of goats: a review

The gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) stand out as an important cause of disease in small ruminant, especially on goat farm. Widespread resistance to synthetic anthelminthics has stimulated the research for alternative strategies of parasite control, including the use of medicinal plants. The present work summarizes the in vitro and in vivo studies of plants with activity against GIN of goats, focusing on the description of chemical constituents related to this effect. This review retrieved 56 scientific articles from 2008 to 2018 describing more than 100 different plant species. The most frequently investigated family was Fabaceae (30.7%). Most in vitro studies on the activity of plant extracts and fractions were carried out with of free-living stages nematodes. In vivo studies were conducted mainly with the use of plants in animal feed and generally showed lower effectiveness compared to in vitro assays. The main plant secondary metabolites associated with anthelmintic effect are condensed tannins, saponin and flavonoids. However, the studies with compounds isolated from plants and elucidation of their mechanisms of action are scarce. Herbal medicines are thought to be promising sources for the development of effective anthelmintic agents.

“…For example, acacia ( Acacia Mill .) extracts containing tannins were found to be effective in killing GINs in sheep [ 5 ] and it was suggested that feeding tannin-rich plants could control GIN infection [ 6 ]. Recently, biologic control of GINs in small ruminants is becoming more common, especially using nematode predatory fungi to kill nematodes [ 7 ].…”

Infections with gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) adversely affect meat color in lambs. Although white-rot fungi (WRF) pretreatment increases nutritional value and fiber digestion of corn straw for lambs, whether it can improve meat quality of lambs infected with GINs is unknown. The objective of this experiment was to study effects of feeding WRF-pretreated corn straw on the health and meat quality of lambs infected with GINs. Sixteen healthy Ujumqin lambs were orally drenched with 3rd-stage GINs larvae and randomly divided into two dietary treatments of control (CON) and WRF diets for 70 days of feeding. Results showed that feeding WRF-pretreated corn straw decreased L* and b* values (p < 0.05) and increased a* value (p < 0.01) of both longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles of lambs infected with GINs. Feeding WRF-pretreatment corn straw decreased fecal egg count (p = 0.014) and increased packed cell volume (p = 0.013) of lambs from 28 d of feeding and increased plasma iron content (p = 0.008) of lambs from 56 d of the feeding. Feeding WRF-pretreatment corn straw decreased myosin heavy-chain (MyHC)-I (p = 0.032) and MyHC-IIα (p = 0.025) content in LTL muscle and MyHC-I (p = 0.022) and MyHC-IIβ (p = 0.048) in SM muscle of lambs. In conclusion, although there were no significant changes in the content of most amino acids or increased intensity of better flavor compounds, meat quality and health of lambs infected with GINs was significantly improved by feeding WRF-pretreated corn straw due to increased PCV and meat color and tenderness.

“…Results from previous studies suggested that feeding forages that contain bioactive CT to ruminants effectively inhibits CH 4 produced during enteric fermentation (Huang et al, 2011;Pellikaan et al, 2011;Puchala et al, 2012). A major question raised by these reports is: what causes CT from some plant sources to be bioactive (Cenci et al, 2007;Brunet et al, 2008;Terrill et al, 2009), whereas CT from others demonstrate almost no bioactivity (Pomroy and Adlington, 2006;Whitley et al, 2009) in the ruminant animal? Molecular weight could be an important factor in the bioactivity of CT, such that as molecular weight of CT increases, bioactivity also increases (Bate-Smith, 1973;Peleg et al, 1999).…”
