Evaluation of a marketed polyherbal dewormer against intestinal strongyles in naturally infected donkeys

Individual counts and arithmetic means ± standard error of the mean (AM±SEM) of eggs per gram (EPG) of faeces from day 0 to day 42 in donkeys treated with a commercial polyherbal dewormer on day 0 and on day 21 (I to VIII), and in donkeys of the control group kept untreated (IX to XIV).

Groups	Donkeys	EPG counts
		Day 0	Day 14	Day 21	Day 35	Day 42
Treated	I	380	610	325	1000	230
	II	180	120	230	315	180
	III	240	440	570	305	495

	V	700	325	230	490	395
	VI	630	600	555	865	440
	VII	200	190	175	275	140
	VIII	370	350	325	510	260

	AM ± SEM	410 ± 71.9	389.4 ± 62.9^a	361.2 ± 54.6^b	563.1 ± 97.7	287.5 ± 48.4
