| Abstract | Gastrointestinal nematodiasis is one of the limiting factors for an efficient raring of small ruminants, specially in developing countries. Studies in Sri Lanka have shown that Haemonchs contortus infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The control of gastrointestinal nematodiasis is usually performed using synthetic anthelmintics. The appearance of nematode resistance to these anthelmintics stimulated the research on alternatives, such as medicinal plants. According to circumstances and depending on their efficacy, naturally produced plant anthelmintics offer an alternative that can overcome some of these problems and is both sustainable and environmentally acceptable. |
