When considering the different attempts to control Trichostrongylid parasites of ruminants, phytotherapy is of major importance in various parts of the world (Ethnoveterinary Medicine). Often, however, these traditionally used plants and plant products lack scientific efficacy proof. A first step towards demonstration of scientific efficacy should be in-vitro-testing of those plants.
In the present project a number of plants and plant metabolites will be checked for anthelmintic efficacy.
