Question

Can i use Eucalyptus extract as a pig dewormer? what about star apple leaves extract?

Answer 1

"For some years Eucalyptus-chloroform was employed as one of the remedies in the tropics for hookworm, but it has now been almost universally abandoned as an inefficient anthelmintic"

"In veterinary practice, Eucalyptus Oil is administered to horses in influenza, to dogs in distemper, to all animals in septicaemia. It is also used for parasitic skin affections"

Star apple, Chrysophyllum cainito is used as anti-diarrheic and anti-fatigue

None of these has property as pig dewormer.

To find out a herbal medicine, one has to know what sort of worms the pigs have. Tapeworms need different treatment from roundworms.

For this publication star apple was tested. Sorry that the abstract only is available, but it shows the reasons for the negative results:
