This study aimed to screen phytochemical components and antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract (BAF-EE) as well as to evaluate its curative effect on experimentally induced haemonchosis in goats. Phytochemical constitutes of BAF-EE were screened and identified using Gas Chromatography-mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and antioxidant effect was determined. Infective third larval stage (L3) of () were obtained by culturing feces of goat harboring monospecific infection of the parasite.
