Interpretation of data collected from adult goats maintained under semi-intensive management system of Chhattisgarh plains revealed that June to August were the months of high risk for nematodosis. Haemonchus sp. was the dominant species recorded throughout the year, while Cooperia sp., Bunostomum sp. and Trichostrongylus sp. showed their occasional presence particularly during rainy season. The possible strategy to control caprine parasite gastroenteritis is discussed.
