| description | The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes of goats (n=1065) in and around Hyderabad using qualitative and quantitative coprological examinations. Results revealed that 43.10% (459) goats were infected with different species of nematodes including Haemonchus contortus (14.65%), Trichuris ovis (8.17%), Trichostrongylus axei (7.61%), Trichostrongylus colubriformis (6.76%), Oesphagostomum columbianum (5.35%), Ostertagia circumcincta (5.35%), Chabertia ovina (4.79%) and Strongyloides papillosus (4.51%). Infections with mixed species of nematodes were recorded in 6.54% (n=30/459; T. ovis + H. contortus), 5.23% (n=24/459; C. ovina + H. contortus), 5.88% (n=27/459; S. papillosus + C. ovina), and 12.42% (n=57/459; O. circumcincta + T. ovis) goats. Of the total infected (n=459); 51.4, 38.3 and 10.2% goats had light, moderate and heavy infections, respectively. The prevalence, nature and intensity of the helminthiasis in goats warrant an immediate attention to devise strategies for its control to reduce the production losses. |
