Abstract
The research aimed to determine the efficacy of the ascaridol active component of paico
(Chenopodium ambrosioides) as an anthelmintic in canines at the animal life foundation,
located in Popayan, Cauca. A bibliographic review was made of the taxonomic characteristics
of the paico (Chenopodium ambrosioides) and its pharmacological characteristics that are used
10
as a dewormer. Solutions were made at concentrations of 10% and 15% of this plant
which was administered orally to canines of different age and sex, compared with a
commercial dewormer based on ivermectin 0.025%, praziquantel 2.5%, pyrantel
embonate 7.4%. This in order to publicize the benefits of this plant.
In the first phase of the study, qualitative and quantitative tests were done to determine
the type of parasite found in the 30 canines sampled. The parasites that were identified with
flotation test were Ancylostoma spp, Trichuris spp, Toxocara spp. Canines that were positive
for these parasites were given the McMaster quantitative test to determine the number of eggs
per gram of fecal matter.
The three treatments to which the canines were subjected, generated a reduction of
parasite eggs present in one gram of fecal matter. Based on the results of Tukey's test we can
determine that there is no significant difference between treatments 1, 2, and 3.
