This study aims to determine the effect of avocado seed powder (Persea americana Mill) on the mortality of Haemonchus contortus worms in sheep in vitro. This study used 5 treatments of Haemonchus contortus worms with 3 replications, consisting of P1 (Physiological NaCl) as a negative control, P2 (25% avocado seed powder), P3 (50% avocado seed powder), P4 (75% avocado seed powder). , and P5 (Albendazole) as positive control. Data were analyzed using One Way Annova analysis with SPSS 20.
