The use of Stylosanthes guianensis cv. Mineirão and Medicago sativa hays to control gastrintestinal nematodes in feedlot lambs.

The gastrintestinal nematodes parasitism is considered one of the most important limitation to the sheep breeding. Some reports have shown that the consumption of tanniniferous plants reduces the faecal egg counts (FEC) and the worm burdens in ruminant The aim of this stduy was to investigate the influence of diets containing Stylosanthes guianensis cv. Mineirão and Medicago sativa hays on the FEC in feedlot lambs. For this study were used three groups (G1, G2 and G3) of 13 crossbred Santa Inês lambs, weighing between 20 and 34kg and aged six to seven months. Only healthy males were used and as they come, were treated with Sulfaquinoxaline sodium for three days and drenched.
