Gastrointestinal Nematode Infestation; Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors in Small Ruminant at Wolayta Soddo District, Southern Ethiopia
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence and risk factors associated with small ruminant nematodes in the Wollayta-Soddo district, southern Ethiopia. In the study conducted from october 2017 to June 2018, a total of 270 small ruminants (175 sheep and 95 goats) were examined. The study revealed that the overall prevalence of nematode was 74.07%. The species level prevalence of nematode was75.43 % and 71.6% in sheep and goats respectively. In animals with poor body condition, the nematode egg detection level was higher than the corresponding categories that showed significant association withp< 0.05. The statistically significant difference was not observed between sex, species, season and age of the animals. Hence, the need for strategic deworming and other related measures was suggested to reduce the production loss associated with the Gastro-Intestinal Tract (GIT) nematodes in small ruminants at the current study area.
