Abstract
India with staggering 61 million sheep and 124 million
goats contributing $US 140 million to livestock industry
every year in the form of skin, hide, wool and meat. Of the
several infectious diseases affecting sheep and goats gastrointestinal
helminthic infection is one of the economically
important health impediment (Sanyal and Gour, 1984)
affecting growth rate and milk productions (Hoste and
Chartier, 1993). As scanty information is available on the
level of helminthic infection of small ruminants in this part
of the sub-continent (Sanyal and Gour, 1984 and Raman et
al., 1999), a detailed epidemiological studies were carried
out from 2001 to 2012 in various agro-climatic zones of
Tamil Nadu as part of the All India Network Programme on
Gastro Intestinal Parasitism funded by Indian Council of
Agricultural Research, New Delhi.
