Farmers practice indigenous knowledge which forms a valid basis for its popular adoption in the farm. Despite the availability of commercial dewormers, smallhold livestock farmers still use herbal medicine because it is cheaper, easily available, and has been a traditional knowledge handed down for generations. The efficacy of Tinospora rumphii as dewormer for goats were studied. Findings showed that the crude extract of T. rumphii at 40 ml/kg body weight significantly reduced the eggs per gram by 85.6 percent in naturally infected goats. The extract, prepared by boiling the vein for 15 minutes at a ratio of 1:2 (1 part plants and 2 parts distilled water) was given orally. The LD50 (lethal dose) and ED50 (effective dose) of the residues of the herbal medicine were 7.95 g/kg and 4.5 g/kg body weight. The efficacy of the herbal material of recommended dosage was comparable with commercial dewormer
