Total Ascaris suum larval burdens and distribution of larvae in the intestine of pigs administered trans-cinnamaldehyde.
(a) Numbers of fourth-stage larvae (L4) in the small intestine (SI) at day 14 post-infection (p.i.) in pigs fed either trans-cinnamaldehyde (CA) in the diet daily (‘CA diet’), dosed with encapsulated CA at days 11 and 13 p.i. (‘CA capsules’), or not administered CA (‘Control’). Indicated is the mean and SEM. (b) Proportions of L4 recovered from the three groups in Segment 1 (proximal half of the SI), Segment 2 (third quarter of the SI) and Segment 3 (distal quarter of the SI). See materials and methods for further information.
