The potential of controlling gastrointestinal parasitic infections in tropical small ruminants using plants high in tannins or extracts from them
A series of previous studies with quebracho tannin (QT) had shown that the tannin was effective at reducing the worm burden of temperate sheep infected with Haemonchus and Trichostrongylus. The potential of using tanniniferous browse plants available in the tropics as a means to reduce or control nematode infections of small ruminants was, therefore, investigated. Leaves of different browse tre...

Gastrointestinal parasitic infections are a major constraint to small ruminant productivity in the tropics and subtropics, including Tanzania. This significantly reduces the economy and food supply to small farmers and their families. Earlier studies at the University of Nottingham (see for example Butter et al., 2000) have shown that feeding the extracted tannin from Quebracho (used in the lea...

Background: To obtain update information on the prevalence of common food-borne parasitic diseases, this study designed to determine the prevalence of hydatidosis and liver flukes (Fasciola spp. and Dicrocoelium dendriticum) in the slaughtered cattle, sheep, and goats in Kermanshah, Iran from 2013 to 2016. Methods: In this four-year retrospective survey, information on the prevalence of hydati...
متن کاملEffects of condensed tannins on established populations and on incoming larvae of Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Teladorsagia circumcincta in goats.
The use of tanniferous plants or tannins represents one alternative approach to the control of gastrointestinal parasites in ruminants but most data have been obtained in sheep. The current study was therefore performed in goats with two objectives: firstly, to investigate the effects of condensed tannins (CT) on adult populations of Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Teladorsagia circumcincta;...
