Aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera and Carica papaya moderately reduce gastrointestinal helminth burden in sheep under field conditions in Ghana.

Infographic on aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera and Carica papaya shows a 30-day field trial with naturally infected sheep in Ghana, comparing moringa extract, papaya seed extract, albendazole, and control groups. Haemonchus egg reduction after thirty days is highest with moringa at 60.9 percent, followed by papaya at 51.3 percent and albendazole at 43.9 percent. Moniezia reduction exceeds 80 percent. Conclusions include moderate anthelmintic effect, reduced albendazole efficacy, and support for integrative parasite management.
