Definitions of Terms
Anthelmintic - drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) from the body, by either stunning or killing them.
(Quisumbing,1952).
Extract - As concentrated preparations of vegetable or animals drugs obtained by removal of the active constituents of
the respective drugs suitable menstrual. (Troy,2006)
Infection - An infection is the colonization of a host organism by parasitic species.
Chapter 1Introduction
Gastrointestinal (GI) Parasites - “Gastro” refers to the stomach, “intestinal” refers to the small intestines (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), and a “parasite” is any organism that lives on or within another living animal and uses it to survive. (Saunders,1999)
Native chicken - Is a breed of chicken Gallus domesticus. They are a utility bird, raised for meat and eggs. They are popular choice for backyard flocks because of their egg laying abilities and hardiness. (Raymond,2000)

FAMILY NAME: FABACEAE
LOCAL NAME: MAKAHIYA
Local Literature
Historical Background
M. pudica linne is very common and abundant throughout the Philippines in open, waste places at low and medium altitudes in settled areas. It was introduced from tropical America and is now a pantropic weed.
Chapter 2Review of Related literature
Figure 2: Makahiya Figure 3: Makahiya in its Native Habitat
M. pudica linne can be grown in most soils as long as it drains well. They are good for locations that are deficient in nitrogen, since they are able to convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into a usable form. Most plants do not share this ability.
Chapter 2Review of Related literature
Chemical constituents• M. Pudica Linne contains the toxic
alkaloid mimosine, which has been found to also have antiproliferative and apoptotic effects.
• The extracts of M. pudica Linne immobilize the filariform larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis in less than one hour.
Figure 4: Structure of Mimosine
• Makahiya contain has high tannins which has been use as dewormer in goats (Dr. Tomas Fernandez,2004)
• The roots contain tannin 10 percent (Nadkarni and Dymrock, 1951)

Anthelmintic Study on M. pudica Linne
Some medicinal research has looked into its other possible uses , including as an “anthelmintic or a medicine against intestinal parasites” (Mr. Tan,2010 )
Makahiya (M. pudica L.) can be used as anthelmintics or dewormers in treating parasitism in goats , these plants are rich in bioactive compounds that are critical in killing, lyzing, and expelling adult worms, their eggs and larvae (Dr. Tomas Fernandez,2004)
Toxic effect of M.pudica Linne• Mimosine rumen microbes convert into a toxic
compound that interferes seriously with thyroid gland function and causes hair loss
• other toxic effects at low Concentration (30-50%)• death (>60%) particularly to ruminants, rats,
mice, pigs and poultry• Safest dose per concentration 3-8mL and toxic
dose >8mL.• It can cause poisoning of cattle in Papua New
Guinea, especially when cut and dried and has caused stunted growth in chickens in Indonesia.

Chapter 5SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATION• In the study conducted, findings have given significant
results showing that M. pudica Linne leaves extract possesses anthelmintic properties as shown by the series of tests, experimentation and validation procedures done.
• M. pudica Linne leaves extract was used for the anthelmintic effect and have given 75% (5mL/3 mos.old) concentrations showing its anthelmintic profile to G. domesticus as descriptive analysis used have shown to be not lethal for G. domesticus consumption unless a marked amount of extract (>5mL) is ingested.
On the other hand, M. pudica Linne leaves extract at different concentrations with the positive and negative control showing that p-value for the Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman test is greater than alpha (0.05) meaning of there is no sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Also shows that all of the 10 population medians have no significant difference.
Recommendation• The utilized experimentation procedures employed were only few
and limited for which the researchers highly recommend .• further tests to be done with the M. pudica leaves extract using
more comprehensive extraction procedures to further enhance the characterization, determination the property of the extracts
• Large number of sample to be tested.
