Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the in vitro effects of the aqueous and methanol extracts of the leaves and fruits of Prosopis juliflora (Sw) D.C., respectively, on larvae cultures of gastrointestinal nematodes of goats. Six different concentrations of the methanol extract (724.5; 557.3; 428.7; 329.8; 253.7; 195.1mg/mL) and one of the aqueous extracts (110.0mg/mL) were used for the treatment of larvae cultures, in triple assays. Destilled water and doramectin were used to treat cultures considered to be negative and positive control, respectively. The results revealed a reduction of more than 90% of the infective larvae between the concentrations of 724.5 up to 253.7 mg/mL for the methanol extract and a low percentage of reduction (59.87%) for the aqueous extract. Only the methanol extract of Prosopis juliflora (Sw) D.C. was effective in the in vitro treatment of gastrointestinal nematodes of goat.
