Anthelmintic Activity of Crude Extracts of and against .

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) are the major limiting factor for the successfulness of livestock production throughout the world. Emergence of resistance strains as well as scarcity and high cost of the currently available drugs has led to the evaluation of other alternative helminth control options, mainly from plants. The current study is aimed at investigating the anthelmintic efficacy of crude methanolic extracts of two traditionally important medicinal plants, and , against using adult motility assay (AMA) and egg hatch inhibition assay (EHIA).
