Abstract

Study aim: This study compares the anthelmintic activity of three medicinal plants namely Melanthera albinervia (Asteraceae), Conyza sumatrensis (Asteraceae) and Cyperacium nathera (Cyperaceae) used in Kalemie and its surroundings against the gastrointestinal parasites beside the therapeutic effect of the ivermectin. Method: Each plant dried away from the sunlight, crushed and 30g of each drug is administered to goats, in vivo, to evaluate the therapeutic effect by comparing the reduction of the eggs number per gram of feces in the group of goat treated by ivermectin and the untreated group. Result: The coprological analysis before treatment revealed that the helminths prevalence in all studied goats with an average parasite load of 3850 ± 240.44 eggs per gram of feces. After treatment, the lab analysis showed that the therapeutic effect rate of the studied plants was ranging from 72.9% on the 12^th day to 44.3% on the 20^th day for Conyza sumatrensis, 84.8% on the 12^th day to 85% on the 20^th day for Melanthera albinervia and 89.5% on the 12^th day to 79.5% on the 20^th day for Cyperacium nathera against an average therapeutic effect rate of ivermectin ranging from 75.1% on the 12^th day to 92.8% on the 20^th day. Conclusion: The plant studied, by their ability to reduce the number of parasites eggs in the feces of goats studied and by their therapeutic efficacy, appear to be the alternative to the parasites control in the goat breeding.
