The herbal dewormer contained mixture of extracts from the herbs Aloe vera, Vitex negundo, Azadirachta indica, Calotrophis gigantea and Clerodendrum inerme. The extract was administered @ 25 ml/sheep and the Fenbendazole @ 5mg/ kg Body weight orally. The results were analysed in terms of reduction in egg count before and after drug administration. The herbal dewormer in sheep was able to reduce egg per gram by 88.64 per cent. The herbal dewormer is free from drug resistance, side effects and made from locally available well known plants.
