Abstract

Present study was carried out to determine the incidence of gastrointestinal helminths in horses of Nagpur city. Among gastrointestinal helminths the order of helminth prevelence was Strongylus sp. (44.12%), Anoplocephala sp. (30.88%), Parascaris equorum (14.71%), mixed infection (Strongylus + Parascaris equorum) (5.88%) and lowest one was Gastrodiscus sp. (4.41%). Haematological study showed significant changes in haemoglobin, PCV, TEC and DLC in infected horses before and after treatment. Combination therapy proved to be highly effective against the gastrointestinal helminths.
