Abstract
Prevalence of strongylosis in goats were studied by examining 782
faecal samples collected during June 1999 to June 2000. Strongylosis was
present in 283 (36.19 per cent) goats. No seasonal influence on the prevalence
of strongylosis was observed. Similarly infections with Strongyhides,
Trichuris, Moniezia and Eimeria were also found in all seasons
Kaiparamba panchayat of Thrissur district recorded the highest
prevalence for strongylosis.
I'
A significant decrease (P<0.01) in the incidence of caprine strongylosis
in University goat and sheep farm, Mannuthy was noticed dunng June 2000,
when compared to June 1999. No influence of sex was observed on the
prevalence of strongylosis m goats.
Haematological examination of strongyle infected goats, revealed a
significant change (P<0.05) m the mean values of PCV and eosmophils, when
compared to that of control goats
Levamisole given orally, was found most effective (100 per cent) while
Closantel was least effective (86.17 per cent) against naturally occurring
strongylosis in goats. Oral Levamisole was found superior to parenteral
Levamisole m efficacy against caprine strongylosis in goats.
