Overview

This investigation shows Acanthophora spicifera extract reduces motility and eggs of Haemonchus contortus in sheep, suggesting its potential as a bioanthelmintic.

Key Points

  • Acanthophora spicifera extract significantly reduced Haemonchus contortus motility in vitro after 10 hours, indicating strong anthelmintic potential.
  • The egg hatch inhibition test demonstrated over 85% reduction in egg hatching, highlighting its effectiveness compared to albendazole control.
  • Chemical analysis revealed that the macroalgal extract contains various secondary metabolites contributing to its anthelmintic activity.
  • Further research with in vivo studies is essential to validate the potential of Acanthophora spicifera as a bioanthelmintic for sheep.
