Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to investigate helminths incidence in goats. Species recorded were Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Teladorsagia circumcincta, Skrjabinema ovis, Trichuris ovis, Haemonchus contortus and Nematodirus spathiger, and overall prevalence of helminths was 79% (95/120). The most frequently detected nematodes in the goats were T. ovis (62.5%) followed by T. colubriformis (52.5%) and T. circumcincta (48.33%). The helminth parasites counts in the goats reached the maximum levels in autumn. In relation to sex, the occurrence of helminth parasites was 73.6% in female and 86.6% in male goats. Key words: Goats, gastro intestinal (GI) nematodes, incidence, seasonal activities, oriental.
