Abstract

In order to find out the pathological lesions of oesophagostomosis in goats of Malwa region, 200 goats slaughtered at Cantonment Board Slaughter House, Mhow were screened for studying the pathology of oesophagostomosis infected goats. Gastrointestinal lesions caused by Oesophagostomum spp. were found in 65% (130/200) cases. Gross lesions of Oesophagostomum affected intestine revealed haemorrhages and congestion on serosal surface, cystic dilatation of intestine and presence of nodules in the intestinal lumen. Microscopically there is loss of villi, desquamation of mucosal epithelium, submucosal area of haemorrhages with atrophy of intestinal glands along with viable and non-viable cysts in the intestine.
