Aim: The study was aimed to identify and document the medicinal plants used for treatments of diseases in animals.
Method and Materials: The present study
was conducted in selected areas of Haramaya district in and around
6 kebeles (Gand Sharo, Ifa Oromia
, Gand Boyi, Gand Amarti,
gand xinike and ganda mude) from November 2014
to April 2015 . A total of 47 plants were identified through semi
structured interview and guided field walk and observation. Among those, 9 plants ( Allium sativium, Veronia amygladina, Lantana camara,
Ricinus communis, Moringa olifera, Catha edulis
Solanium incanum and Carpurnia aurea) were selected based on their superior uses for extraction, evaluation of
phytochemical and antihelimithis assay.
From the 9 selected medicinal plants, two plants were selected for in vitro
antihelimithic efficacy tests for egg hatch assay. The 70% methanol extracts of
the bulbs of Alium sativum and the leaves of Calpurnia aurea were evaluated on
nematode eggs.
Results: Calpurnia aurea extracts caused complete eggs hatch inhibition at concentration of 0.8%, 0.4% and 0.2%, while alium sativum extracts only in habits at 0.8% concentration.
Conclusion: The current findings revealed
that extracts from Calpurnia aurea b have potential anthelminthic effect and
further in vitro and in vivo evaluation is warranted to make use of the plants.
