Abstract

This research, conducted from May 2022 to February 2023, aimed to assess the effectiveness of alcoholic and aqueous extracts from Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Azadirachta indica (neem) plants against nematode parasites in local chickens within Salah al-Din, Iraq. A total of 360 chicken fecal samples were collected from various areas and examined using light microscopy, identifying Tichostrongylus tenius and Subulura brumpti as the prevalent nematode species. The study revealed that the 100% concentration of alcoholic neem extract exhibited the highest efficacy, eliminating worms within hours compared to the control group. Ginger extracts also demonstrated effectiveness, with the 100% concentration displaying rapid worm elimination. The results suggest the potential use of these plant extracts as natural remedies for nematode infestations in poultry, addressing critical health and economic concerns in the industry. Highlights : Alcoholic neem extract at 100% concentration showed rapid efficacy against nematode parasites. Ginger extracts also demonstrated effectiveness in eliminating parasites. Potential for using plant extracts as natural remedies in poultry farming. Keywords : Nematode parasites, Ginger extract, Neem extract, Poultry health, Natural remedies

生姜和印度楝树植物提取物对本地鸡线虫寄生虫的功效：比较研究

本研究于 2022 年 5 月至 2023 年 2 月进行，旨在评估从生姜（Zingiber officinale）和印楝（Azadirachta indica）植物中提取的酒精和水提取物对伊拉克萨拉赫丁当地鸡体内线虫寄生的有效性。研究人员从不同地区共收集了 360 份鸡粪便样本，并使用光学显微镜进行了检查，结果发现佃线虫（Tichostrongylus tenius）和布鲁姆蒂线虫（Subulura brumpti）是主要的线虫种类。研究显示，100% 浓度的印楝醇提取物功效最高，与对照组相比，几小时内就能消灭蠕虫。生姜提取物也显示出功效，100% 浓度的生姜提取物能迅速消灭蠕虫。研究结果表明，这些植物提取物可用作治疗家禽线虫感染的天然药物，从而解决家禽业在健康和经济方面的重大问题。亮点：100% 浓度的酒精印楝提取物对线虫寄生虫具有快速疗效。生姜提取物也显示出消除寄生虫的功效。在家禽养殖中使用植物提取物作为天然疗法的潜力。关键词：线虫寄生虫生姜提取物印楝提取物家禽健康天然疗法
