| Description |
Researchers at the University of Dschang in Cameroon have discovered that diluted papaya seeds can be used to treat chickens suffering from infestations of gastrointestinal parasites like Heterakis sp. and Eimeria sp. Seeds were dried in the sun for two weeks, pulverised and diluted in water at concentrations of 10 g/l. Then 0.2 ml of the medicine was dispensed to each hen. Once treated, the number of eggs and oocysts of the parasites in the faeces decreased significantly.
