Summary
O parasitismo gastrintestinal em ovinos acarreta em inúmeros prejuízos aos produtores rurais, sendo que seu controle é realizado basicamente através da administração de anti-helmínticos sintéticos que estimula a seleção de parasitas resistentes. Com o objetivo de determinar a eficácia do extrato aquoso de alho sobre parasitas gastrintestinais de ovinos in vivo, 21 animais foram divididos em 3 tratamentos. Os animais do Tratamento I e II receberam, respectivamente, 60g e 90g de alho na forma de extrato aquoso em dose única, e o terceiro grupo foi considerado controle não tratado. Amostras fecais foram coletadas nos dias 0, 3, 8, 16 e 24 para realização dos exames de contagem de ovos por grama de fezes (OPG) e coprocultura. Não foi observada redução do OPG assim como nenhuma alteração dos gêneros larvais identificados na coprocultura. Diante disso, conclui-se que o extrato aquoso de alho não apresentou efeito anti-helmíntico in vivo nas condições deste experimento.
Summary translation
Gastrointestinal sheep parasites result in a lot of costs to the owners. Its control is based on synthetic antihelminthic administration which stimulates the selection of drug resistant parasites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the garlic extract efficacy in ovine gastrointestinal parasites in vivo. For this reason, 21 sheep were divided in 3 groups. The animals of Treatment I and II received 60g and 90g of garlic extract, respectively, in a single dose, and the third group was considered the control group (non treated). Feces samples were collected in day 0, 3, 8, 16 and 24 for the egg per gram test (EPG) and coproculture. There was no EPG reduction and no difference in the larvae genres identified in the coproculture. Therefore, the garlic extract had no antihelminthic effect in sheep in vivo, in the conditions of this experiment.
