dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to: (1) identify the different species of GI helminthes affecting native chicken; (2) determine the efficacy of virgin coconut (Cocos nucifera) oil (VCO) against GI helminthes of native chicken; and (3) determine the most effective dose of VCO against GI helminthes of native chicken. Fifty (50) native chickens naturally infected with GI parasites were randomly distributed into five treatments with ten chickens per treatment, replicated three times, following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). A representative of each treatment was necropsied at day 0 and at day 28. Treatments used were T0 - (negative control), T0 + (Commercial anthelmintic), T1 (3 ml VCO/kg bw), T2 (4 ml VCO/kg bw), and T3 (5 ml VCO/kg bw). Fecalysis was conducted on day zero to determine the pre-treatment EPG count and repeated on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 to determine the post-treatment EPG count. The GI helminthes affecting native chickens were Ascaridia, Heterakis, Capillaria, and Choanotaenia species. Treatment 3 (5 ml VCO/kg bw) and treatment 2 (4 ml VCO/kg bw) were interpreted as “effective” comparable to commercial anthelmintic. Treatment 3 (5 ml VCO/kg body weight) was the most effective dose.
