OLIVARES OROZCO, Javier Lorenzo  e  RODRIGUEZ DIEGO, Jesús Gregorio. Anthelmintic effect of Bromelia pinguin on Oesophagostomum columbianum (Strongylidae: Chabertidae) in sheep. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.2  Epub 01-Ago-2019. ISSN 2224-4700.

The anthelmintic effect of the fruits and the extract of the plant Bromelia pinguin against the gastrointestinal helminth Oesophagostomunm columbianum were evaluated. Sheep were divided into five groups of 10 animals each: an untreated control group, a control group treated with ivermectin (Ivomec, MSD) at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg and three groups that received the extract from the plant at the dose of 500 mg per animal, as well as the fruits of B. pinguin at doses of 10 and 15 fruits per animal. High levels of infestation were constant in the untreated control group during the entire time of the experiment. The efficacy rate of the plant in the helminths was high (100 %) with B. pinguin extract and with the fruits at 48 h after the treatments. Group 5 result was the highest (90.4 %) 25 days after treatment. The reduction of infestation varied (p<0.01) in each treated group after the administration of vegetable products.
