摘要: Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) continue to hinder small ruminant production because of anthelmintic resistance and lack effective products for GIN control in organic production. The objective this study was examine the effectiveness a commercially available certified garlic product, fresh juice, or bulbs as an goats papaya seeds lambs. In first experiment, weaned meat goat kids were administered water commercial juice product (n = 7/treatment). second water, fed 9 10/treatment). third lambs nothing seed 12/treatment). Naturally infected supplemented with bermudagrass hay corn/soybean supplement experiment maintained on pasture grazed mixed grasses third. Blood fecal samples collected Days 0, 7, 14 after administration treatment changes blood packed cell volume (PCV) egg counts (FEC). PCV FEC similar by Day between treated experiment. Similarly, not different among groups group lower than other two but 14. Deworming required one within each 7 three bulb No apparent response compared untreated Based alternative plant used study, is recommended aid
