A total of 384 sheep and goats fecal samples (313 sheep and 71\u0000 goats) were collected and examined using standard parasitological\u0000 techniques. The present study revealed that an overall prevalence of 56.77%\u0000 with prevalence rate of 185 (59.11%) and 33(46.48%) in sheep and goats\u0000 respectively. From the examined samples mixed infection was recorded with\u0000 about 21.35%. The parasitic species identified were Strongyle spps (22.14%),\u0000 Trichuris spps (0.52%), Monezia (2.5%), Emeria spps (0.260%). Female animals\u0000 were found with higher prevalence of helminthes infection rate than male\u0000 animals with a prevalence of 48.98% and 61.60%, respectively.

It can be concluded that, in the study area there was high\u0000 prevalence of GIT parasites in sheep and goats with age, sex, body condition\u0000 and production system as important risk factors. Therefore, strategic uses\u0000 of anthelmintics drugs and good management should be given for the control\u0000 and prevention of GIT parasites as well as further studies to determine\u0000 burden of the parasites and seasonal variation is recommended.","PeriodicalId":249404,"journal":{"name":"Biotehnologija u stocarstvu","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115548183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
