Abstract EN

Many anthelmintics are known to be effective against A.galli infection in chickens.

Among them piperazine preparations are most common.

The present study was planned to evaluate the anthelmintic efficacy of Pomegranate (Punica granatuim) in comparison with the reference anthelmintic (piperazine adipate).

Graded doses (drugs) (100,200,300 and 400 mg/kg) of piperazine adipate and (0.25, 0.50, 1 and 2 gm/kg) of water suspension of dreid pomegranate fruit-rind powder were orally given to chickens naturally infected with A.

galli.

Anthelmintic efficacy of each drug was determined by calculating mean egg per gram of faeces (EPG) before and after treatment.

Data suggested that oral administration of 300 mg/kg of piperazine and 1 g/kg P.

granatum were equieffective in the treatment of A.galli infection in chickens.

For estimating the in vitro anthelmintic activity of the used plant and in comparison with piperazine adipate, adult A.galli worms collected form intestines of naturally infected and slaughtered birds, were washed with saline solution and subjected to four different concentrations of piperazine adipate and water suspension of dried powdered pomegranate fruit-rind.

Time required for paralyses and death of worms was recorded.

All concentrations used in this experiment showed in vitro anthelmintic activity against A.galli.

Efficacy was concentration dependent, began with paralysis and ended with death of worms.
