Resumen:
There is a current tendency of larger demand for organic products, derived of vegetables and animals bred without use of pesticides and without other synthetic chemical substances harmful to health. This work research aim identify the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in paraiban semi-arid and to enlarge the knowledge on plants use with antielminthic effects, viable for organic production line. It was used garlic (Allium sativum) and grass-saint (Cymbopogon citratus) aqueous extracts for treatment "in vitro" of gastrointestinal parasites of Japanese quails maids in floor, originated of flocks of Lavras da Mangabeira city, geographically located in semi-arid area of Ceará state. Gastrointestinal parasites eggs were obtained of quails fecal samples through the Girão and Ueno (1985) technique. Material was triturated in graal containing hyper saturated saline solution, filtered in sieves of meshes of 250mn/nm (nº 60) and 180mn/nm (nº 80). Obtained material was conditioned in 500 ml test tubes being proceeded three consecutive washes with distilled water. In last wash, the sediment was maintained with a small volume of distilled water in way to produced a suspension with approximately 100 eggs/ml. Were utilized Petri plates of 10cm of diameter to add 2 ml of garlic and sacred grass extract aqueous in concentrations 25; 20; 15; 10 and 5% mg/ml-1 for each 200 eggs, in other words, 2ml of filtrate. The rehearsal took place in triplicates. The results show that the aqueous extracts of garlic (a. sativum) and grass Santo (c. Citratus) are viable alternatives for the control of parasitos gastrintestinais of codornas. Furthermore, demonstrate higher efficiency when compared, Albendazole anti-helmíntico commercial 10%.
