Extract

Up to the present time no taeniacidal agent has been established on the basis of adequate evidence as satisfactory for the removal of tapeworms, especially Davainea proglottina, from poultry. Tapeworms are generally regarded as responsible for considerable damage to the poultry industry. The principal remedies that have been recommended are areca nut, turpentine, oil of chenopodium, extract of male fern, Kamala, pomegranate root bark, arecolin hydrobromide and thymol.
