Abstract
Kakawate has been used for many centuries for its medicinal purposes. It was found to have a wide variety of therapeutic claims. In combination with aloe vera, this study aims to harness its anti-mange capacity.
There were two phases of the study. During the first phase, mites were collected from (2) dogs, (one for D. canis and S. scabiei), and were distributed into (4) treatments and (1) positive control with (1) mite per treatment replicated (5) times. The most effective concentration was used for phase 2. Twelve dogs were randomly distributed into four treatments with (3) animals per replication. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were utilized to evaluate skin lesions and mite count. The gathered data was evaluated using ANOVA.
T4(12% kakawate oil) had the shortest mean time of death of both sarcoptes and demodex. T2 (1% kakawate oil and 0% citronella oil) is highly effective in both reduction of visual score and reduction in Sarcoptes (88.39 %). T2 was as effective as T1(KLES) which is the positive control.
