Abstract:
Gastrointestinal parasites are serious threat for the health and productivity of goats in Egypt and worldwide. Current study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of infection with gastrointestinal parasites and related risk factors among goats in Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. From August 2019 to February 2020, total 150 fecal samples were collected from the goats (from >1year to <2 years old) of study area and were examined macroscopically and microscopically using direct and concentration techniques to detect the eggs or oocysts of gastrointestinal parasites. Among the inspected samples, 102 (68%) were found infected by gastrointestinal parasites. Results of study revealed the presence of Eimeria species oocysts, eggs of Strongyles, Trichuris species, Skrjabinema ovis, Moniezia species and Fasciola species were detected with prevalence of 53.3%, 44%, 26.7%, 6.7%, 21.3% and 13.3% respectively. Eimeria species oocysts and Strongyles type eggs were the most prevalent species identified in this survey. Also nematode eggs were the highest recorded helminthes. Concerning the risk factors; age, sex, body condition and rearing system showed significant effects on gastrointestinal infections in goats. In conclusion, current study revealed that the gastrointestinal parasitic diseases and decreasing productivity of goats can be managed by good animal husbandry since the high parasitic infections were observed in animals kept under poor management including nutrition, hygienic conditions and the basic practices of animal husbandry
