Abstract

Crossbred goats (48) of almost similar age group and body weight, positive for gastrointestinal nematodosis were randomly divided into 8 groups of 6 each. The egg per gram of faeces was determined prior to the treatment (0 day) and at every 15 days interval up to 100 days post treatment. The herbal formulation consisted of sample AAU/CI incorporated into urea molasses block (UMB) and was fed @ 15g/animal/ day. There was 100% efficacy of the MUMB (FBZ) administered in group 1 in stall feeding animal and 84.45±9.99% in group 3 MUMB (FBZ) grazing animal respectively. The overall efficacy of MUMB (AAU/CI) in stall feeding and grazing animals (group 5 and 6) were 78.33±11.33 and 90.48±6.02 respectively. The overall efficacy of UMB administered in stall feeding and grazing animal (group 2 and 4) was 20.37±3.42 and 1.52±1.52% respectively. There was significant (P<0.05) difference between the different groups at different ages. From the observations it is evident that the faecal egg count of helminth infected goats reduced significantly following the treatment with the herbal formulation.
