Abstract :
A study was carried out to assess the parasitic infection in Sheep and Goat owned by the farmers in Karur District of Tamil Nadu. A total number of 957 (491 sheep and 466 Goat) dung samples collected randomly and examined in five years from 2009 to 2013. The results showed that 66.59% and 77.46% of Sheep and Goat samples were positive for parasitic infection. From the positive sheep dung samples majority (70.94 %) of samples had Strongyle eggs, 34.25% and 32.11% of dung samples were positive for Trichuris eggs and Oocysts of Eimeria respectively. Out of positive Goat dung samples 77.28% of samples had Oocysts of Eimeria and 59.83% of samples had Strongyle eggs. It was found that a minimum of 28.25% of goat dung samples had Trichuris eggs. The study reveals that major parasitic worm load found in small Ruminants were Strongyle, Eimeria and Trichuris Sp. in field conditions. Awareness is to be created with the farmers towards the importance of deworming in Small Ruminants, examine the dung samples periodically and deworm their animals with suitable drugs.
