Abstract

A study on impact of the age and the type of breeding on the infection level of cattle hyperdemosis was conducted in the cattle of Kruja district through the use of clinical control of the livestock. Out of 386 cattle controlled 42 individuals proved to be positive, or 10.88 % out of the total. The highest percentage of infection was present in the age groups between 2 and 5 years old at 14.2 % of cattle, while the lowest percentage of infection was detected in cattle with the age group at 8 years old or with 2.63 % of cattle. This was statistically tested where R 2 = 0.9228. The highest percentage of infection was in cattle that are being bred in a pasture regime at 5.79 %, while the infection percentage in the livestock bred in the pen-pasture regime was at 14.19 %. the lowest percentage was in cattle that are being bred in the pen regime at 5.91 %. The larvae accumulated from the infected cattle were identified as larvae of bovis hypodermosis.
