“…This observation was intriguing because animals generally avoid browsing the bitter leaves of A. anthelmintica. East Africans widely use A. anthelmintica to control helminth parasites in human and animal medicine in Sudan (Koko, Galal & Khalid, 2000), Ethiopia (Desta, 1995) and Tanzania (Minja, 1994).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the anthelmintic effectiveness of Albizia anthelmintica, as a first step in investigating the hypothesis that livestock self-medicate. In July 2006, an observational study was conducted with 56 young female lambs, to validate A. anthelmintica efficacy. Faecal egg per gram for Coccidia, Strongyle-type, Monezia, Strongyloides and Dicrocoelia eggs were counted and analysed. Results indicate that A. anthelmintica is effective in controlling infection with a variety of internal parasites in lambs, Monezia was the most sensitive. Furthermore, treatment of Strongyle-type worms requires a biweekly dose of A. anthelmintica as an effective deworming protocol.

“…In vivo assessment usually includes counting the eggs of the parasites in the faecal sample of the host animals after consumption of plant products or by counting parasites in faeces (Desta 1995). Faecal worm egg counts and differential larval counts indicate the level of parasite burden.…”

Diseases caused by helminth parasites in livestock continue to be a major productivity constraint, especially in small ruminants in the tropics and subtropics. Infections by paramphistomes are one of the most common and economically important diseases of grazing livestock. Anthelmintic resistance to chemotherapeutics is widespread and a serious threat to effective control of helminth infections. Therefore, phytomedicine with anti-parasitic properties offer an effective alternative. The present study was conducted to assess the anthelmintic effect of the aqueous extract of pods of Acacia concinna (AcPE) at various concentrations (5, 10 and 20 mg ml(1 ) against paramphistome infection in sheep. Eggs per gram (EPG) count and haemobiochemical parameters of sheep treated with A. concinna were investigated. In AcPE-treated sheep, the egg counts reduced significantly on day 7 post-treatment and continued to decrease further, till the end of the experimental period, i.e. day 21 posttreatment. The degree of reduction in EPG counts following oral administration with AcPE was proportional to dosage and duration after treatment. The maximum reduction (97.41%) was observed on day 21 after treatment with 20 mg ml(1 extract. The haematological and biochemical profiles of paramphistome-infected sheep revealed anaemia and hypoproteinemia. Restoration of normal haematobiochemical profile was observed in sheep after treatment with AcPE.
