Parasitic infestation in livestock is a major problem for the farmers. These parasites inflict huge losses in terms of production loss and animal mortality. Hence, chemical anthelmintics have been routinely used for the control of these parasites. But, due to the emergence of anthelmintic resistance in the parasites, alternatives are being investigated. Among these, botanicals are a promising choice that are not only environment friendly but also have no reported resistance against them so far. Thus, botanicals need to be further searched upon for the full exploitation of these novel alternatives.
