Abstract

Faecal samples of 507 goats were examined for parasitic infection. About 70% goats were found positive for different types of infection. Strongylus (16.57%) and Haemonchus (12.23%) infection was significantly higher than mixed infection. Infection due to Oesophagostomum Fasciolalhepatica and Amphistomes was low. Sex, season and year had significant effect on parasitaemia.
