Abstract

The current study was conducted to detect the prevalence and the seasonal dynamic of helminthes infection among domesticated poultry (705 chicken, 265 pigeon, 84 turkey, 353 duck and 58 geese). The results revealed that 642 (43.8%) out of 1465 examined birds were infected with intestinal worms and the incidence rates were 327 (46.4%) in fowls, 137 (51.7%) in pigeons, 36 (42.9%) in turkeys, 134 (38%) in ducks and 8 (13.8%) in geese. Seasonal dynamics revealed that the highest rates of helminthes infection in fowl and duck were during Spring (56.3% and 64.9% respectively),while in turkey and geese were during Summer (88% and 30.8% respectively) and Autumn for pigeon (67.1%) while The lowest rates of infection in fowl and turkey were during Winter (39.3% and 19% respectively) while during Autumn for duck and geese (24.1% and 5.8% respectively) and Spring for pigeon (38.8%).
