Abstract: This study evaluated the in vitro anthelmintic activity of aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of Anogeissus leiocarpus and Adansonia digitata leaf powder at 75; 150; 300; 600; 1200 and 2400 µg/mL against H. contortus, using the egg hatch test and the adult worm motility inhibition test. For egg hatch inhibition, the both plants showed significant concentration-dependent efficacy and were significantly more effective (p < 0.001) at the highest concentrations (1200 and 2400 µg/mL) than at the lowest. The hydro ethanolic extract of A. leiocarpus showed the highest inhibition (R2 = 0.9963) and the aqueous extract of the same plant showed the lowest inhibition (R2 = 0.9742). The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the A. leiocarpus aqueous and hydro ethanolic extracts (86.19 and 72.5 µg/mL) were 3 times lower than those of the A. digitata extracts (302 and 269.5 µg/mL). Mobility of adult worms was also concentration dependent (p<0.05); and also dependent on incubation time (p<0.01). At 2400 μg/mL, all adult worms were immobile after 6 h of exposure, whereas at the lowest concentration (75 μg/mL), all adult worms were immobile after 36 h of exposure. Extracts from both plants had similar activity. Finally, the results of the present study suggest that the both plants studied have anthelmintic properties in vitro which would explain their use by livestock farmers. However, in vivo tests should be performed to confirm these properties in vivo as well.

Abstract: This brief report combines outcomes from empirical and online data research on non-ruminant farm animal production in Uganda, with a focus on my home district. It will help researchers design trials to develop further experimental studies to provide information for extension workers local non-ruminant farm animal breeds that are high in energy, fat and protein. This study can be divided into three main divisions. The first group, which includes poultry production in Uganda, saw a 9.6% increase in poultry population and a 9% increase in egg output between 2013 and 2017, with chicken being the most popular. Uganda is home to approximately 47.6 million birds. Pig production is the second group, which may be considered an important output among Ugandan communities. Smallholder mixed crop livestock producers, of which over 80% are located in rural areas, rear a significant share of the over 3 million pigs produced annually, The third category is Because rabbits were once regarded to be a pet and childlike companion, rabbit marketing is a relatively new phenomenon. As expected, many producers have lost money, and the rate of abandonment has been moderate to high. Needless to say, commercial rabbit production's reputation is fading. The livestock sector remains a vital component and backbone of the Somali economy; the bulk of poultry (meat and eggs) consumed in Somalia's major cities is imported. In most cases, frozen chicken slices are imported. Rabbits in Somalia, for example, necessitate professional management abilities. In Somali communities, keeping pigs is often outlawed.
