Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManaging Internal Parasites of Small Ruminants using Medicinal Plants a Review on Alternative Remedies, Efficacy Evaluation Techniques and Conservational StrategiesWandile Nikelo, Maliviwe Mpayipheli, Lyndy McGawThroughout the world, internal parasites are a majorhindrance to small ruminant production. The most common internal parasites ingrazing small ruminants are likely to be gastrointestinal nematodes. They causea reduction in live-weight gain, wool growth, poor reproductive performance,and increased production costs and thus hamper global food security.Pharmaceutical control continues to be the main measure used to manage orcontrol internal parasites, however … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 6 Oct 2022 · 6,847 accessesView PDFCite
