Zusammenfassung:The use of local resources for food and health care of animals is a highly profitable and sustainable strategy. Among these resources are native trees and shrubs which in addition to providing good quality nutrients, produce secondary metabolites with anthelmintic (AH) effect. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro AH effect of Gliricidia sepium leaves methanol extract (GSME), through the egg hatch inhibition assay (EHA). Three concentrations of the extracts were tested: 125, 250 and 500 μg/mL.  Also a negative control (distilled water) and a positive control (levamisole 2 mg/mL) were included. The GSME showed significant differences P
