Resumen:
The consumption of Caesalpinia coriaria dry ground fruit (Ccgf) and a
Duddingtonia flagrans chlamydospore suspension (DfchS) either
individually or in combination for the control of gastrointestinal
nematodes (GIN) was assessed in sheep. Forty-five lambs infected with
GIN were distributed into five groups (n = 9): Group 1: DfChS at 5 x
10(5) chlamydospores /kg BW; Group 2: Ccgf at 10% of the total diet;
Group 3: Combination of both treatments; Group 4: Levamisole at 6 mg/kg
BW; and Group 5: Control. The DfChS was orally administered every third
day for 15 days; while the Ccgf, was daily offered during the same
period. Faecal egg counts and coprocultures were established. Mean
faecal egg accounts (EPG) and infective larvae from coprocultures were
recorded. The highest EPG reductions were obtained on the 17th day with
the treated group (72.1%); followed by Ccgf group (69.1%) at day 13
and DfchS group (62.6%) also on the 17th day; though, no significant
differences were found among treatments. The highest larval reductions
were observed with the combined treatment 97.7% (day 17); followed by
DfchS group: 96.2% (day 11) and Ccgf group: 70% (day 11). The EPG and
larvae reductions achieved with DfchS and Ccgf could be associated to
the anthelmintic compounds present in both fungi and plants. The
combined use of DfchS and Ccgf against GIN in sheep under grazing
conditions seems to be a promising alternative for GIN control in sheep.
