The problem and its incidence has been well identified. Implementing a prevention programme with peasant farmers is a bigger job. Would suggest a reading of work done in Bangladesh-'Studies on Medicinal Plants Against Gastrointestinal Nematodes of Goats' by Sujon, Mostafa et al, published in Bangl.J.Vet.Med(2008).6.(2):179-183. They had tried ten medicinal plants and narrowed the selection to four which showed particular efficacy. They were pineapple leaves,bitter gourd,clove and neem whose extracts gave almost 80% control of nematodes in ten days.
Of these plants only Neem Azadirachta indica will grow in a hot dry climate. It will be a cheap easily available medicinal plant which will grow with little care.
