Zusammenfassung:Cattle ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are well known for their harmful effects to cattle health. The problem of TBDs has been ranked high in terms of their adverse impact on the livelihood of poor farming communities in developing countries including Thailand. The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of phenolic compounds of crude acetone extract and crude ethanol extract from Artocapus lakoocha leaves in the elimination of the cattle ticks which were tested in the form of crude extract at the concentration of 400, 800 and 1600μg/ml. From the record of mortality rate within 48 hours and propagation index within 15 days, it was found that the extract at the concentration of 1600μg/ml had the best efficacy to eliminate cattle ticks when compared to control group and other concentrations (P
