PROCESS OF PREPARING A PAPAYA (CARICA PAPAYA)-IPIL IPIL (LEUCAENA GLAUCA OR LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA) DEWORMING COMPOSITION FOR CHICKENS
Assignee / Owner: Capiz State University (CapSU)
Field / Industry: Animal Health
Patent Number / Registration Number: 2-2015-000491
Status of Application: Granted
Brief Description / Features of Technology:
The technology relates to the process of preparing a deworming composition comprising papaya (Carica papaya) seeds, ipil ipil (Leucaena glauca or Leucaena leucocephala) seeds, antibacterial agent, antifungal agent and dextrose powder. Preferably, the papaya and ipil ipil seeds are mature and processed into powder form.
Problem Addressed:
“The prevalence of internal parasitism in native chickens throughout the tropics and elsewhere, are recognized as a major constraint to livestock production (Giothiori, et. aI., 2004). Among the different types of helminths, nematodes are the most prevalent and most harmful. They cause retarded growth (Kochapakdee, et aI., 1995), lowered 30 productivity, mortality (FAO, 1974; Sykes, 1994) and high economic losses.
Nematodes in different species of animals have been reported and most of the parasitic control programs are based upon a combination of chemotherapeutic control, grazing management, dietary management, biological control, vaccination and ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM) treatment (FAO, 2002). Internal parasitism can also cause severe diarrhea, and high mortality. Feed and water consumption are depressed resulting to weight loss, development of culls, decreased egg production, and increased mortality (Aiello, 1998).
The rising cost of animal drugs is one of the (livestock) farmer’s biggest problem. Compounding the situation is the remoteness of villagers to towns where they could avail of the services of animal technicians or veterinarians to provide the needed animal health care. Commercial drugs can be difficult to obtain in remoteupland communities.”
Advantages
The technology is a simple and effective process for producing an anthelmintic from papaya and ipil ipil, which are commonly grown plants in the Philippines and are species investigated and found effective as anti-nematicidallhelmintic against roundworms.
Market Potential / Application
“The technology is an economical and an alternative way to reduce the parasitic burden to tolarable level through a simple and effective process for producing an effective anthelmintic against egg and adult parasites.
The anthelmintic produced through this process is a cheap source of anthelmintics to complement the commercially manufactures parasitic drugs against internal parasitism. The control of parasitic diseases will lead to the stable supply of native chickens and alleviate poverty in the countryside.”
