Effect of Inclusion of Tanniferous Leaf Meal Mixture on Growth Performance and Helminth Control in Nellore Brown Lambs

Background: Parasitic infestation is a major constraint in sheep husbandry and this condition results over usage of antihelminths leads to drug resistance presence residues meat. To counteract problem use tanniferous leaves promising approach both terms health animals decreasing the economic burden on farmer. Methods: A total 30 Nellore brown lambs aged 3-4 months with mean live weight 12.10±0.31 kg, tested positive for parasitic were selected randomly divided into five groups (NC, C, T1, T2 T3) 6 each completely randomized design.Treatment fed complete diet incorporated Tanniferous Leaf Meal Mixture at different levels control without Mixture.Body weights, ADG, FCR faecal egg count observed fortnight intervals. Result: The final body weights significantly (P less than 0.05) lower C group compared treatment NC groups. Among groups, higher group, while difference was not significant among other counts (Egg per gram) day 120 experiment reduced by 66.67%, 85.85% 71.63% T3 respectively, when one experiment.
