Immunomodulatory effects of Moringa oleifera leaves aqueous extract in sheep naturally co-infected with Fasciola gigantica and Clostridium novyi

摘要

The effect of Moringa (M.) oleifera aqueous extract oral adminstration on the body weight of sheep naturally infected with Fasciola (F.) gigantica. The Sheep (6–12 months age) were classified based on the severity of fascioliasis into three groups; lightly infected treated group, heavily infected treated group, and mixed infected control group. The lightly and heavily infected groups were treated with M. oleifera aqueous extract for 21 days. The body weight of sheep in the three groups was recorded at 0 and 21 days. Two-way ANOVA was performed followed by multiple comparison tests. Data represented in mean ± standard deviation (SD). Different letters denote significance (p < 0.05)
