Abstract

Out of 902 faecal samples of goats (627) and sheep (275) included in the study, 875 were found positive for gastrointestinal parasites with an overall prevalence rate of 97%. Maximum infection recorded was of strongyles (79.08%) followed by coccidia (45.38%). Considerable infection of Trichuris (18.19%) and amphistome (17.53%) was also recorded. Strongyloides infection was recorded in 3.91% animals, whereas 3.57% Fasciola infection was observed. A meager infection of Moniezia (2.63%) and a negligible infection of Toxocara (0.39%) were also recorded.
