Abstract

Studies were conducted to understand nematode parasite epidemiology in goats maintained under field and farm condition at Durg situated in the agroclimatic zone of Chhattisgarh Plain by monitoring monthly faecal egg counts and genera of parasites present for a period of one year. While increased egg counts in goats were observed during July to September in goats of both field and farm conditions, the egg counts were significantly (P<0.05) higher in field goats with dominance of haematophagous nematode Haemonchus spp.
