Resumo


It is mainly due to the resistance to conventional anthelmintics representing a barrier, being a constant challenge to search for new bases in the control of these parasites. Thus the use of phytotherapics becomes viable alternative in the fight against gastrointestinal nematodes, beyond promoting slow development of the resistance, it is biodegradable and does not cause environmental contamination. Thereby, the review aims to address the main results obtained in research on herbal drugs effective in the control of gastrointestinal nematodes of small ruminants.
