A 20 days old female buffalo calf was brought to Mobile Veterinary Unit of Tihidi Block, Bhadrak, and Odisha with the history of passing mucoid faeces with heavy straining since 8 days. The direct faecal sample examination was found highly positive for Toxocariosis. The quantitative estimation by the McMaster counting has indicated the presence of 3.6 x 104 number of Toxocara vitulorum eggs per gram (EPG).
