THE INFLUENCE OF ARECA NUT (Areca catechu) AQUAEOUS EXTRACT ON ABILITY TO PREVENT AND TREAT ASCARIDIA GALLI INFECTION AND WEIGHT GAIN OF NOI CHICKEN IN THE PERIOD FROM 3 TO 13 WEEKS OF AGE
Abstract
This study is to investigate the effects of Areca nut aqueous extract and Levamisol for deworming against Ascaridia galli infection in Noi chickens. A total of 72 Noi chickens were used in the experiments and randomly assigned to 3 treatments, having 24 chicks per treatment with 4 replications (n = 6/replicate). The results showed that gain weight level of chickens using Areca nut aquaeous extract was better than the control treatment. A decrease in worm infection percentage of chicks treated by Areca nut aquaeous extract and Levamisol at the age of 5 – 6 weeks compared with 4 weeks was also reported. There was a highly significant effect (P < 0.05) among the treats on Ascaridia galli infection rate at 6 weeks of age, decreasing much lower in the treatment using Areca nut aquaeous extract.
