Helminth infections, particularly Ascaridia galli, significantly impair poultry health and productivity, especially among native chickens raised under natural conditions. The continuous of use of synthetic anthelmintics have led to resistance and drug residue concerns, emphasizing the need for natural alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic activity of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) seed ethanolic extract against Ascaridia galli and compare its efficacy with albendazole. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with six treatments, 3 concentrations of albendazole (25, 50 and 100mg/5ml of distilled water) and 3 concentrations of jackfruit seed ethanolic extract (25, 50 and 100μl/5ml distilled water) replicated three times. Adult Ascaridia galli worms were exposed to each treatment, and observations on paralysis and mortality were recorded every 30 minutes. Paralysis was occurred as early as 1:30 hours with complete mortality recorded at 3 hours. The 100mg albendazole and 100μl of jackfruit seed ethanolic extract treatments showed the highest mortality, while 25μl jackfruit seed ethanolic extract exhibited comparable activity to 25mg albendazole, yielding significant paralysis (3.67) and mortality (5.67 values). Results indicate that jackfruit seed ethanolic extract possesses potent, rapid and dose dependent anthelmintic activity against Ascaridia galli. The 25μl/5ml of distilled water concentration was identified as minimal effective and potentially safe dose. Therefore, jackfruit seed ethanolic extract represent a promising, affordable, and ecofriendly natural deworming alternative for sustainable poultry production.

Opinion on SENTRY HC WORMX PLUS vs HEARTGARD wormer for dogs? I've been doing the research and people seem to like both but I have also found reviews on Sentry's flea products that weren't good so I'm hesitant to try the wormer

Hello,

I am not very familiar with Heartgard (we don’t have Heartworms where I live). It looks like Heartgard Plus helps control hookworms and roundworms and has good reviews. It also looks like Sentry HC Wormx plus has good reviews as opposed to the flea products. (If you are dealing with fleas I would look for another product) Have you discussed which would be best with your vet? Are you looking for both dewormer and something for fleas? I’ve used Advantage for fleas in the past and it has worked well.

Sorry I’m not much help, I get my dewormer from the vet and haven’t had a problem with it before. (I can’t remember right now what the name is, I will have to look it up later sorry!) Any of my followers able to recommend which one is best?

Parasites developing widespread resistance to dewormers, researchers say

University of Georgia investigators warn of 'significant threat' to livestock industry. Jul 20, 2012 DVM NEWSMAGAZINE

Years of overusing deworming drugs on our nation's farms may finally be catching up to us, say researchers at the University of Georgia. According to a recently published study, parasitic worms that infect cows, goats, sheep and horses are becoming increasingly resistant to drugs that have commonly been used to control them.

Ray Kaplan, DVM, PhD, a professor in the university's department of infectious diseases, has been studying this kind of drug resistance for years and says that continued overuse of deworming drugs may soon lead to a population of intestinal parasites that cannot be killed. "We're already seeing the worst-case scenario playing out," Kaplan says. "In goats particularly, which have the worst problems with parasites and drug resistance, we quite frequently see farms that have parasite resistance to all dewormers. Some of these farms reached the point where they no longer could control the effects of the parasites and decided to go out of business."

For years, farmers and ranchers have been prophylactically administering dewormers to their livestock to enhance growth and productivity, but with continued use, parasites have grown increasingly resistant to many of these drugs, forcing farmers to seek out alternative drugs or rely on their own concoctions for parasite control. Kaplan warns that if the industry fails to recognize the severity of the situation and continues to overuse dewormers, many farmers will be driven out of business, thanks to poor productivity and profitability from their herds.

So what can be done to resolve the situation? Kaplan suggests that farmers embrace a new way of thinking when it comes to parasite control. First and foremost, he recommends reserving drug use for only those animals that suffer from large or dangerous parasite burdens, which will expose fewer parasites to the drugs and thus minimize resistance.

He also suggests that farmers consider changing the grazing patterns of their livestock. When animals are allowed to graze freely, they naturally gravitate toward certain areas of pasture and risk coming into contact with more fecal matter, the vehicle for parasite transmission. However, if farmers divided their pastures into segments and frequently rotated their herds to new grass, the animals would encounter less fecal material and the likelihood of parasite ingestion would decrease. In addition, parasites left behind on temporarily unused pastures would eventually die off.

"We're trying to change the paradigm of parasite control so that farmers are willing to accept a certain level of production loss in exchange for sustainability," Kaplan says. "We need to use less of these drugs and use them more intelligently and selectively."

Kaplan's full study results can be found in the May 2012 issue of Veterinary Parasitology.
