Abstract
This study was conducted to isolate and identify the parasites present in the
puppies and to test the anthelmintic potency of Euphorbia hirta (Tawa-tawa) extract as
to the number of eggs present. The study used fifteen (15) puppies with age ranging from
96 to 106 days old The samples were distributed randomly to five (5) treatments wherein
each treatment has three (3) replications.
Each sample has undergone fecalysis and Ancylostoma caninum was isolated.
The samples were then subjected to the following Treatments: To - Negative Control
(untreated); T]- Positive Control (Combantrin ®); T2 - 25% E. hirta expressed juice; T3
- 50% E. hirta expressed juice; and T4 - 75% E. hirta expressed juice.
A series of fecalysis were continued at Days 1, 3, 5 and 7, after the treatment
application. E. hirta expressed juice above 50% concentration can effectively eliminate
A. caninum at Day 7, although 25% can reduce the number of eggs it is not sufficient to
eliminate A. caninum eggs.
