GARLIC EVALUATION (Allium sativum) IN TWO SUPPLY ALTERNATIVES AS AN ANTIPARASITIC IN BACKYARD HENS
Se evaluó el efecto del ajo como antiparasitario en gallinas de traspatio en dos
formas de suministro: tomada y comida. Para la forma tomada se molieron y
diluyeron 5 g de ajo en un litro de agua y se ofreció como única fuente de bebida
por un período de ocho días a un grupo 10 gallinas de traspatio en libertad. Para la
otra forma (comida), los bulbos fueron fragmentados con un cutter en porciones de
1, 1.5 y 2g de ajo, cada fragmento fue proporcionado directo al pico a un grupo de
diez aves colocadas en jaulas individuales, por período similar de ocho días. A las
gallinas de ambas formas de suministro se les realizó un estudio coprológico, a
través del método de flotación, las gallinas en libertad fueron muestreadas el día 0
y 9 del tratamiento, mientras que los otros grupos (1, 1.5 y 2g), así como al testigo,
fueron muestreados los días 0, 3, 6 y 9 del período de estudio. Los resultados
más relevantes indican que el 100% de las aves muestreadas resultaron positivas
a parasitosis, los parásitos diagnosticados fueron Ascaridia galli y Eimeria spp. La
concentración de huevecillos y ooquistes se redujo a 0% al tercero, sexto o
noveno muestreo en el grupo testigo, 1 y 1.5g, respectivamente. Por lo anterior se
concluye que el ajo, tanto triturado y suelto en agua, como el bulbo fragmentado,
directo al pico, resultó efectivo como antiparasitario natural contra Eimeria spp. y
Asaridia galli, en gallinas criollas de traspatio. Sin embargo, en el agua de bebida
resulto ser la menor dosis y con menos manejo de las aves.

Abstract:
The effect of garlic as an antiparasitic in backyard chickens was evaluated in two forms of supply: eaten and eaten. For the form taken, 5 g of garlic were ground and diluted in one liter of water and offered as the only source of drink for a period of eight days to a group of 10 free-ranging backyard hens. For the other form (food), the bulbs were fragmented with a cutter into portions of 1, 1.5 and 2g of garlic, each fragment was provided directly to the beak to a group of ten birds placed in individual cages, for a similar period of eight days. A coprological study was carried out on the hens of both forms of supply, through the flotation method, the free-ranging hens were sampled on Day 0 and 9 of the treatment, while the other groups (1, 1.5 and 2g), as well as well as the control, they were sampled on Days 0, 3, 6 and 9 of the study period. The most relevant results indicate that 100% of the sampled birds were positive for parasitosis, the parasites diagnosed were Ascaridia galli and Eimeria spp. The concentration of eggs and oocysts was reduced to 0% at the third, sixth or ninth sampling in the control group, 1 and 1.5g, respectively. Therefore, it is concluded that garlic, both crushed and loose in water, as well as the fragmented bulb, directly to the beak, was effective as a natural antiparasitic against Eimeria spp. and Asaridia galli, in Creole backyard chickens. However, in the drinking water it turned out to be the lowest dose and with less handling of the birds.
