Extract

The over-dependency and misuse of the chemotherapeutic drugs available to parasite control with consequent development of anthelmintic resistance, mainly in small ruminants, has been demanded alternative sources to control gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential anthelmintic effects of condensed tannins (CT) from acacia extract (AE) on Trichostrongylus colubriformis in experimentally infected sheep.
