A recently published study by the National Veterinary School of Sidi Thabet, Tunisia and ICARDA suggests that camel\u2019s milk offers a practical and sustainable resource to tackle widespread gastro-intestinal sheep worms in low input production systems.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest in Natural Healing Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There has been growing interest in the use of natural products. \u201cNatural products are an alternative source of bio-active compounds to control viral, bacterial and parasitic infections,\u201d says Dr. Hafidh Akkari, a member of the research team in Tunisia. \u201cNutritional pharmacology is an important new research area for clean and sustainable livestock enterprises.\u201d\u00a0 Milk is one option that has been considered since it has anti-parasitic properties and is also renewable, environmentally friendly, quickly degradable, easily accessible, and cost-effective <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camel Milk as Dewormer in Sheep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to a detailed chemical analysis of the camel milk, the research team used two main tests to investigate the\u00a0in vitr<\/em>o efficacy of camel milk against a common type of gastrointestinal parasite, Haemonchus contortus. This blood-sucking parasite of the sheep stomach can cause severe anemia and productivity losses; acute infestations and high worm burdens may even cause death in lambs.\u00a0 The effect of camel milk on egg hatching and adult parasite populations was impressive: camel\u2019s milk was the only milk-type to have an inhibitory effect on egg hatching, and it caused significant paralysis or death of adult worms at different post-treatment intervals, even at low concentrations.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scientists Gave a Chance to the Camel Milk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This study is the first to conclusively show that camel\u2019s milk could potentially help control the most important parasite affecting sheep,\u201d says Dr. Mourad Rekik, a senior small ruminant production scientist at ICARDA, who collaborated in the study. \u201cGiven its\u00a0in vivo\u00a0<\/em>effect and bioactive molecules, we believe that camel milk represents an accessible, renewable and cost-effective alternative to control parasites. Harnessed properly, it provides an opportunity to boost livestock productivity and raise rural incomes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking out of the Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes before I read the posts of the moms who are keeping their kids on camel milk for certain reasons, claiming that their kids are gaining weight and inclining from the skinny level to healthy levels. Even one mom told me that she found worms in the stool of her kid after the intake of camel milk. Therefore, I always say to give a chance to the camel milk. https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/2020\/02\/19\/researching-camel-milk-as-an-antiviral-agent-in-the-context-of-covid-19\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camel milk offers a sustainable and highly effective means of controlling parasite populations in livestock, according to research undertaken by scientists from Tunisia and ICARDA. In a breakthrough study, conducted on one of the most virulent gastro-intestinal sheep parasites, results demonstrate that camel\u2019s milk has the potential to eradicate sheep worms, and thereby deliver significant livelihood gains to livestock producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":177,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,5,8],"tags":[39,31,41,40],"class_list":["post-216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-camel-milk-and-natural-health","category-camel-milk-for-health","category-farm-health","tag-camel-milk-dewormer","tag-camel-milk-is-a-natural-pharmacy","tag-natural-dewormer","tag-sheep-dewormer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":217,"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216\/revisions\/217"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camel4all.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
