Abstract fromJoint Spring Symposium, Frederiksberg, Denmark.JOINT SPRING SYMPOSIUM 2015  9  Coping with anthelmintic resistance in ruminants: the potential use of chicory (Cichorium intybus) as an antiparasitic forage in cattle Miguel Peña-Espinoza (1-2), Ulrik Boas (1), Stig M. Thamsborg (2) and Heidi L. Enemark (1) (1) National Veterinary Institute, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark; (2) Department of Veterinary Disease Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Studies were performed to test the anthelmintic activity of chicory against cattle nematodes and to investigate the role of sesquiterpene lactones (SL) as active compounds. In study 1, 2-4 months-old calves were allocated into a chicory (CHI, n=9) or control (CON, n=6) group. CHI and CON were stabled and fed with chicory silage (cv. Spadona) or hay, resp., ad libitum. After 2 weeks all calves were infected with 10,000 Ostertagia ostertagi and 65,000 Cooperia oncophora third-stage (L3) larvae. In study 2, 4-6 months-old calves were allocated into a chicory (cv. Spadona, CHI, n=10) or ryegrass/white clover (CON, n=10) pasture. After 1 week all calves were infected with 20,000 O. ostertagi L3 larvae. Fecal egg counts were calculated as number of eggs per g of dried feces (FECDM). At day 56 (study 1) and day 36 (study 2) post-infection calves were killed for worm recovery. FECDM and worm counts were analysed by ANOVA. In study 3, SL extracts were purified from leaves of chicory cv. Spadona and cv. Puna II. O. ostertagi adults were incubated at decreasing concentrations of SL extracts and worm motility was evaluated after 6, 24 and 48 h of incubation (37oC). SL profile in the extracts was analysed by liquid chromatography (LC). In study 1 mean FECDM were not significantly different between groups. O. ostertagi mean worm counts were 1599 and 3752 in CHI and CON groups, respectively (P<0.05). C. oncophora burdens were not statistically different between groups. In study 2 FECDM was decreased in CHI by 48-65% as compared to CON (P<0.05). Worm counting of study 2 is undergoing. In study 3 Spadona-SLs showed higher potency and exerted faster worm paralysis than Puna II-SLs. LC analyses revealed a different composition of SL between cultivars. In conclusion, chicory demonstrated a marked in vivo anthelmintic effect against O. ostertagi, but not on C. oncophora. Different anthelmintic potency of chicory SL can guide the identification and selection of antiparasitic cultivars.
