[Title] => Nganga nut good for deworming goats
[Summary] => Don’t look now, but betel nut, one of the main components of the nganga masticated by a good number of Filipino old folk, is an effective dewormer for goats.
The nut, locally known as bunga (Areca catechu L.), was studied together with makabuhay, another parasiticidal plant, as to their effectiveness in removing liver fluke from goats.
The research was done by a team led by Dr. Bede P. Ozaraga of the Capiz State University (formerly Panay State Polytechnic College) in Dumarao, Capiz.
