From a purely veterinary point of view, Artemisia is very effective in treating coccidiosis in hens and parasitemia (strongyles, strongyloides, coccidia and cestodes) in sheep.
It is possible to incorporate dried and finely powdered Artemisia leaves and stems into animal feed instead of conventional medication.
Studies report a dosage of 0.15g/kg per day for 5 days for chickens and 0.77g/kg per day for at least 8 days for sheep.
The results were spectacular, as the recovery was similar, with the added bonus of weight gain when Artemisia was taken. This is enough to revolutionise the dependence of many breeders on medication!
