Abstract
Papaya (Carica papaya) seeds together with squash (Cucurbita moschata) seeds was pelleted to be used as dewormer, to determine its antihelmintic effects on growing chicken. They were randomly divided into four treatments and four replication with five birds per treatment was assigned using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), with a total of eighty native chickens. The treatments were: Treatment A - Control (commercial dewormer) based on manufacturers recommendation; Treatment B - 75% Squash seeds and 25% Papaya seeds; Treatment C - 50% Squash seeds and 50% Papaya seeds; Treatment D - 25% Squash seeds and 75% Papaya seeds. The birds were treated orally at 2.5g of the pelleted dewormer based on the ratio of the study. In this study Treatment C, shows were highly influential in all parasites present in the chicken but of no significant result, also found to be at a lower cost.
