The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of the garlic juice on goat gastrointestinal nematodes. Twenty animals were alocated into two groups and treated with garlic juice. One group was treated with ivermectin and one control group was not treated. The percentage reductions in egg and larvae counts of the Strongyloidea were under 95% for all groups. The treatment of goats with garlic juice was not an effective control of gastrointestinal nematodes.
