: All experimental protocols were approved by the CPPSE Animal Care and Use Committee (No. 02/2014). Animals were under the care of a veterinary medical assistant during all 21 days of the experiment. The number of eggs per gram of faeces of the donor animal and the animals of the in vivo anthelmintic test was counted to monitor the level of infection during the experiment. After treatment, the animals were also observed for 1 h to monitor any toxicity symptoms caused by the essential oils, such as signs of discomfort, apathy, lethargy and/or drowsiness. None died or was in poor physical condition.
