Journal Title: Agricultural Advances - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
During the study period of two years the prevalence of helminth parasites in domestic fowl from Gurez valley were analysed. A total of 137 domestic fowl were examined for helminth parasites from May 2013 to April 2015. A high rate of helminth infection (40.14%) was observed. One cestode Raillitina tetragona and two nematodes, Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum were encountered during the study period. High prevalence of infection was observed during summer (41.86%) followed by autumn (34.21%), spring (33.33%) and winter (30.76%). Males (36.96%) were more infected than females (34.37%). The young ones were more infected than adults. Nematodes were more prevalent than cestodes.
