Abstract

Parasitism remains a challenge in the effective and efficient management of ruminant livestock. Among the different approaches proposed for a better management of these different ruminant parasites, the present work carried out on the farm of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences (FSA) located in Sékou, focused on the effectiveness of the annual mugwort powder (Artemisia annua) on gastrointestinal nematodes (Nematoda) of cattle. The coprological analyses were made at the Laboratory of Ethno pharmacology and Animal Health (LESA) in a population of eighteen (18) animals, divided in 2 groups with treatment and one without treatment. The result after treatment showed that the Artemisia annua powder significantly reduced the excretion of nematode eggs. It is noted that the more the animals are infested the faster there is a decrease in egg excretion.
