n present study
Nigella sativa
(seeds) and
Fumaria parviflora
(aerial), were used to treat buffaloes naturally infected with fasciolosis
and their efficacy (%) was compared. In vivo, pre-and post-treatment (50 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg/kg body weight of the two
medicinal plants) fecal egg-counts were determined following standard fecal egg count reduction in buffaloes (Babulus sp.) of Nili
Ravi breed naturally parasitized with Fasciola sp. The infected buffaloes were randomly divided into 3 main groups i.e., A, B and C.
Animals in groups A and B were further sub divided into three sub groups i.e., A1, A2, A3; B1, B2, B3. Sub-groups A1 and B1 were
given dose level of 50 mg/kg body weight, A2, and B2, 100 mg while A3 and B3, 150 mg/kg body weight of
Nigella sativa
(seeds) and
Fumaria parviflora (aerial), respectively. The group C having infected animals served as control. The two medicinal plants were found
significantly (P<0.05) effective (42-100%) and safe to use against fasciolosis.
