Abstract

Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) leaves are used worldwide for their wide range of medicinal properties like antibacterial, antiprotozoal, hepato-protective and other properties. The present study was conducted to observe the effects of Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) leaves as anthelmintics in cattle. Animals were selected and grouped into four groups where Group A was considered as control, Group B was treated with grinded Neem leaves, Group C was treated with grinded Tamarind leaves and Group D was treated with both grinded Neem leaves and Tamarind leaves and the efficacy rate was calculated. It was observed that Neem and Tamarind leaves had a significant effect on the number of fecal eggs count. On day 0 average egg counts of A, B, C and D were recorded 7.50±0.45, 7.80±0.50, 7.95±0.38 and 8.00±0.52 respectively. However, on the 15^th-day number of eggs was significantly decreased (P≤0.05) in treatment groups. Moreover, considering efficacy it was observed that Neem: Tamarind (1:1) was more efficient (68.15%) than individual Neem (29.93%) and Tamarind (42.67%). Hence, Neem and Tamarind leaves were found effective as anthelmintics in cattle.
