Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of garlic and black pepper against Eimeria columbae &
Capillaria obsignata naturally infected 400 pigeons (Columba livia), fecal samples and crop < br />swaps. Pigeons were divided into six groups of 10 pigeons each. G1: Control not treated. G2:
Received 7garlic cloves (9.13gm pigeon) orally as a single dose. G3: Received black pepper
kernels (0.64gm pigeon) orally as a single dose. G4: Received orally garlic cloves (9.13gm pigeon)
and 7 black pepper kernels (0.64gm pigeon). G5: Received Meterindazole® 250mg/liter of
drinking water for three days. G6: Received a combination of 1g Amprolium® & 2g Piperazine®/
liter drinking water for three days.
The results showed that E. columbae oocysts and C. obsignata eggs 2 & 5 days post-treatment
significantly decreased (P< 0.05) compared to controls. Combined garlic and black pepper gave
same effect as meterindazole and the other two. Stained crop smear did not show trichomoniasis.
