Description
Summary:The gastrointestinal nematodes are responsible for a marked reduction in the productivity of sheep and goats. In an attempt to control these parasites, different synthetic anthelmintics are used, but development of resistance has become this control little effective. In the search for alternatives to control these nematodes, the use of tanniferous plants has attracted attention from researchers in different regions of the world. This review aims to address the various aspects related to the administration of these plants to sheep and goats, and the main results obtained from studies using tannins to control nematodes in small ruminants. Key words: sheep, goats, anthelmintic activity, tannins. Os nematoides gastrintestinais sao responsaveis por acentuada reducao na produtividade de ovinos e caprinos. Na tentativa de controlar esses parasitos, sao utilizados diversos anti-helminticos sinteticos, mas o desenvolvimento da resistencia tem tornado esse controle pouco eficaz. Na busca por alternativas de controle dos nematoides gastrintestinais, a utilizacao de plantas taniniferas tem despertado interesse de pesquisadores em varias regioes do mundo. Essa revisao visa a abordar os diversos aspectos relacionados ao fornecimento dessas plantas a ovinos e caprinos, bem como os principais resultados obtidos em pesquisas utilizando taninos para o controle de nematoides de pequenos ruminantes. Palavras-chave: ovinos, caprinos, atividade anti-helmintica, taninos.
