| dc.description.abstract | The anthelminthic activity of Withania somnijera, L. Dunal a Maasai traditional
anthelminthic was studied in sheep. The McMaster egg count technique and
coproculture was used to evaluate worm infestation and the effect of the water
extract of the medicinal plant. The water extract was prepared in accordance witb
the Maasai traditional method. The results showed that the reduction in the egg per
gram count in sheep treated with Withania somnvera water extract is comparable to
that of Lepoxy
(a levamisole-based anthelminthic) and was significant (pcO.05)
wheu compared to the control non-treated animals. It is concluded that FVifhania
somnvera has anthelminthic activity and that the effect against tapewornls (nlonieza
benedeni and M. expansa) is more predominant. | |
