Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica, have a worldwide distribution and cause a liver disease in domestic ruminants, as well as, commonly considered as a major constraint on the profitable sheep production in Ethiopia. Constraint to the use of anthelminthics is due to the high cost led to the alternative treatment such as medicinal plants. The objective of this study was to compare the anthelminthic effect on fasciola infections of chili or mitmita (Capsicum annum longum) with a conventional treatment such as Tricalbendazole (Fasinox-250) and to correlate with nutritional levels. A total of 72 Afar/Adal and blackhead Somali local breeds of sheep naturally infected by fascioliasis were randomly allotted into 3 groups with two nutrition levels (supplemented and not supplemented). Two treatment groups such one group received 10mg/kg of Tricalbendazole (Fasinox) three times every three weeks and the other group received 100 gm of crushed or chopped chili. The control group was no treatment. The effect of treatment was measured by egg per gram (EPG) after 30, 60, and 90 days. At the end of the experiment, animals were sacrificed performed postmortem for adult fasciola recovery in the liver. Fasinox and chili had an efficacy of 100 and 84 percent in suppressing egg output, respectively. Animals treated by Fascinox and Chill (mitmita) with supplementation had the highly reduction of EPG compared to the treatment group with no supplementation (p LT 0.05). No significant differences between two breeds were observed. The result indicated that chili could be alternative treatment for subclinical fascioliasis to alleviate the production loss in sheep herds.
